+- Distutils2 runs on Python from 2.4 to 3.2 (3.x not implemented yet),
+  so make sure you don't use a syntax that doesn't work under
   one of these Python versions.
 
 - Always run tests.sh before you push a change. This implies
-  that you have all Python versions installed from 2.4 to 2.6.
+  that you have all Python versions installed from 2.4 to 2.7.
 
+- With Python 2.4, if you want to run tests with runtests.py, or run
+  ust one test directly, be sure to run python2.4 setup.py build_ext
+  first, else tests won't find _hashlib or _md5. When using tests.sh,
+  build_ext is automatically done.
+
+- Renaming to do:
+
+  - DistributionMetadata > Metadata or ReleaseMetadata
+  - pkgutil > pkgutil.__init__ + new pkgutil.database (or better name)
+  - pypi > index
