+================
+Project policies
+================
+
+This page collects basic policies on horizon development.
+
+Back-end service support
+------------------------
+
+* ``N`` release of horizon supports ``N`` and ``N-1`` releases of
+  back-end OpenStack services (like nova, cinder, neutron and so on).
+  This allows operators to upgrade horizon separately from other OpenStack
+  services.
+
+* Horizon should check features in back-end services through APIs as much as
+  possible by using micro-versioning for nova, cinder and so on and API
+  extensions for neutron (and others if any).
+
+* Related to the previous item, features available in ``N-3`` releases
+  (which means the recent four releases including the development version)
+  are assumed without checking the availability of features
+  to simplify the implementation.
+
+* Removals and deprecations of back-end feature supports basically follows
+  `the standard deprecation policy
+  <https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tags/assert_follows-standard-deprecation.html>`__
+  defined by the technical committee, but there are some notes.
+  Deprecations in back-end services are applied to corresponding horizon
+  features automatically and it is allowed to drop some feature from horizon
+  without an explicit deprecation.
+
+Django support
+--------------
+
+* Horizon usually syncs with
+  `Django's Roadmap <https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/>`__
+  and supports LTS (long term support) versions of Django
+  as of the feature freeze of each OpenStack release.
+  Supports for other maintained Django versions are optional
+  and best-effort.
