+@section Gerrit Review System
+
+All changes in the OpenOCD Git repository go through the web-based Gerrit
+Code Review System:
+
+@uref{http://openocd.zylin.com/}
+
+After a one-time registration and repository setup, anyone can push commits
+from their local Git repository directly into Gerrit.
+All users and developers are encouraged to review, test, discuss and vote
+for changes in Gerrit. The feedback provides the basis for a maintainer to
+eventually submit the change to the main Git repository.
+
+The @file{HACKING} file, also available as the Patch Guide in the Doxygen
+Developer Manual, contains basic information about how to connect a
+repository to Gerrit, prepare and push patches. Patch authors are expected to
+maintain their changes while they're in Gerrit, respond to feedback and if
+necessary rework and push improved versions of the change.

+@section Tcl RPC server
+@cindex RPC
+
+OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
+commands and receive the results.
+
+To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
+(see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
+interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
+value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
+repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
+
+Remember that most of the OpenOCD commands need to be prefixed with
+@code{ocd_} to get the results back. Sometimes you might also need the
+@command{capture} command.
+
+See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
