 ### Pull Requests and Merging
-The workflow for this repository loosely follows [gitflow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) and goes as follows:
-- To develop new contributions, fork or branch from the `develop` branch of the main repository
-- Pull requests and contribution merges are always made to the `develop` branch of the main repository
-- From time to time, `develop` is merged into `master` by a project maintainer using --no-ff, and a new tag and version are released
+The workflow for this repository goes as follows:
+- To develop new contributions, fork or branch from the `master` branch of the main repository
+- Pull requests and contribution merges are always made to the `master` branch of the main repository
+- From time to time, commits of `master` are tagged and a new version is released
+- At present, there is no support for maintaining bug-fix branches of older project versions.  This is something we can revisit if a need arises.
 
-In this way, no feature-development work is ever directly contributed to `master`; merges to master only ever come from `develop` when a new version is being cut or from a bugfix branch, and are never fast-forward merges.  this maintains the `master` branch as a series of released production versions of the code, while `develop` is always the sum of the approved and merged contributions from developers.

-End users of this repository should only use tagged commits in production.  Users interested in the current 'soon-to-be-released' code may use `develop`, with the understanding that it changes quickly.  All other existing branches (if any) should be considered 'feature' branches in development, and not yet ready for use.
