Hi Girish! Thanks for helping to get these updated! Good work! I have some inline comments that I'd like you too look into, please.

One general question for Andrew and Nicholas (and others): Should we perhaps remove the section on debugging with GDB? It doesn't seem as applicable for a pure QML app--I've never had to run gdb while running a QML app.

30+Running Autopilot tests
31+=======================
32+
33+The Weather app follows a test driven development where autopilot tests are run before every merge into trunk. If you are submitting your bugfix/patch to the Weather app, please follow the following steps below to ensure that all tests pass before proposing a merge request.
34+
35+If you are looking for more info about Autopilot or writing AP tests for the weather app, here are some useful links to help you:

41+
42+- [Autopilot Tests](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/guides/running-autopilot-tests/)
43+
44+Prerequisites
45+=============
46+
47+Install the following autopilot packages required to run the tests,
48+
49+ $ sudo apt-get install python3-autopilot libautopilot-qt ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot python3-autopilot-vis
50+
51+Running tests on the desktop
52+============================
53+
54+Using terminal:

113+Building and running on Desktop
114+===============================
115+
116+Building and running the Ubuntu Weather App is quite simple. You will require
117+Ubuntu 15.04 and higher to run on the desktop.
118+
119+
120+
121+ $ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-weather-app branch-name
122+ $ cd branch-name
123+ $ qmlscene app/ubuntu-weather-app.qml
124+
125+API
126+===
127+The OpenWeatherMap service requires an API key.
128+Visit [Open Weather](http://openweathermap.org/appid) to obtain a personal key.
129+Click [here](http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401) for more details.
130+Place the key between the quotation marks for the "owmKey" variable in app/data/keys.js
131+
132+**Do not commit branches with the key in place as a centrally managed key is injected at build time.**
133+
134+Submitting a patch upstream
135+===========================
136+
137+If you want to submit a bug fix you can do so by branching the code as shown
138+above, implementing the fixes and running to see if it fixed the issue. We also
139+request that you run the Autopilot tests to check if anything
140+regressed due to the bug fix.
141+
142+If the tests fail, you will have to fix them before your bug fix can be
143+approved and merged into trunk. If the tests pass then commit and push your
144+code by,
145+
146+
147+
148+ $ bzr commit -m "Implemented bug fix" --fixes lp:bug-number
149+ $ bzr push lp:~launchpadid/ubuntu-weather-app/branch-name
150+
151+Running Tests
152+=============
153+
154+Please check README-Autopilot.md on how to run the tests.
155+They are quite explanatory and will help you get started.
156+
157+Code Style
158+==========
159+
160+We are trying to use a common code style throughout the code base to maintain
161+uniformity and improve code clarity. Listed below are the code styles guides
162+that will be followed based on the language used.
163+
164+* [QML](http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-codingconventions.html)
165+* [JS, C++](https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml)
166+* Python - Code should follow PEP8 and Flake regulations
167+
168+Note: In the QML code convention, ignore the Javascript code section guidelines.
169+So the sections that should be taken into account in the QML conventions are QML
170+Object Declarations, Grouped Properties and Lists.
171+
172+Debugging
173+=========
174+
175+GDB allows one to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes,
176+or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. It is a pretty niffty tool which allows you
177+to get the crash log that can help a developer pin point the cause of the crash.
178+Before reproducing crash it is good to create symbols table for gdb, by using command:
179+
180+
181+
182+ $ cd branch-name
183+
184+To run GDB:
185+
186+
187+
188+ $ gdb qmlscene
189+
190+At this point, you are inside the gdb prompt. Run your application as you normally would.
191+
192+ run app/ubuntu-weather-app.qml
193+
194+Your app is now running and monitored by GDB. Reproduce the steps in your app to make it crash. Once it does crash,
195+
196+ bt
197+
198+That's about it. To quit GDB, type quit to return back to the normal terminal console.
199+
200+ quit

209+Prerequisites to approving a Merge Proposal (MP)
210+================================================
211+
212+Over time, it has been found that insufficient testing by reviewers sometimes leads to weather app trunk not buildable in Qtcreator due to manifest errors, or translation pot file not updated. As such, please follow the checklist below before top-approving a MP.
213+
214+Checklist
215+=========
216+
217+* Does the MP add/remove user visible strings? If Yes, has the pot file been
218+ updated?
219+
220+* Did you remove the API key? (refer README.md)
221+
222+* Does the MP change the UI? If Yes, has it been approved by design?
223+
224+* Did you perform an exploratory manual test run of your code change and any
225+ related functionality?
226+
227+* If the MP fixes a bug or implements a feature, are there accompanying unit
228+ and autopilot tests?
229+
230+* Is the weather app trunk buildable and runnable using Qtcreator?
231+
232+* Was the debian changelog updated?
233+
234+* Was the copyright years updated if necessary?
235+
236+The above checklist is more of a guideline to help weather app trunk stay buildable,
237+stable and up to date.

244+Updating translations
245+=====================
246+
247+Translations for the Weather app happen in [Launchpad Translations](https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app) and are automatically committed daily on the trunk branch in the po/ folder.
248+
249+They are then built and installed as part of the package build, so that
250+developers don't really need to worry about them.
251+
252+However, there is one task that needs to be taken care of: exposing new
253+translatable messages to translators. So whenever you add new translatable
254+messages in the code, make sure to follow these steps:
255+
256+ 1. Run click-buddy to build the project and generate a new .pot file:
257+ $ click-buddy --dir .
258+ 2. Commit the generated .pot file:
259+ $ bzr commit -m"Updated translation template"
260+ 3. Push the branch and send a merge proposal as usual
261+
262+And that's it, once the branch lands Launchpad should take care of all the rest!
263+
264+Behind the scenes
265+=================
266+
267+Behind the scenes, whenever the po/*.pot file (also known as translations template) is committed to trunk Launchpad reads it and updates the translatable strings exposed in the web UI. This will enable translators to work on the new strings.
268+The translations template contains all translatable strings that have been
269+extracted from the source code files.
270+
271+Launchpad will then store translations in its database and will commit them daily in the form of textual po/*.po files to trunk. The PO files are also usually
272+referred to as the translations files. You'll find a translation file for each
273+language the app has got at least a translated message available for.
274+
275+Translations for core apps follow the standard [gettext format](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/).

346+ReadMe - Ubuntu Weather App
347+===========================
348+Ubuntu Weather App is the official weather app for Ubuntu Touch. We follow an open
349+source model where the code is available to anyone to branch and hack on. The
350+ubuntu weather app follows a test driven development (TDD) where tests are
351+written in parallel to feature implementation to help spot regressions easier.
352+
353+API
354+===
355+The OpenWeatherMap service requires an API key.
356+Visit [Open Weather](http://openweathermap.org/appid) to obtain a personal key.

361+
362+Dependencies
363+============
364+**DEPENDENCIES ARE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED TO BUILD AND RUN THE APP**.
365+
366+A complete list of dependencies for the project can be found in ubuntu-weather-app/debian/control
367+
368+The following essential packages are also required to develop this app:
369+* [ubuntu-sdk](http://developer.ubuntu.com/start)
