    README: Add initial guidelines
    
    Following a discussion with cworth, set forth a few ideas on how to manage
    the cairo-traces repository.

+Guidelines
+----------
+Initial thoughts...
+
+1. Nothing obscene, or otherwise unsuitable for viewing by children or in the
+workplace - please be considerate to others. The trace should also respect
+copyright where appropriate. Even though the content is not usually visible
+during a replay, it is not acceptable to distribute such material via
+freedesktop.org.
+
+2. Each trace must be "representative of a significant use". The goal is a
+set of traces that capture the behaviour of real applications during active
+sessions. (We must guard against the tests becoming too artificial as that
+is better served by purpose-written micro-benchmarks.)
+
+3. For practical reasons (i.e. continuous performance testing), each trace
+should neither be profligate in the resources consumed nor the duration of
+the run. However, I'm loathe to exclude tests simply because they take too
+long or can not be run on tiny machines. (Instead, I plan to create subset
+of tests that have been truncated to run within 60s on a 2GHz Intel Core2.)
