+## Dialogue helper to create a "topic-branch" for cmangos
+
+# Steps in interactive dialog:
+# 1) Get name of contribution (ie LFG)
+# 2) Get type of contribution (feature, fix, rewrite, cleanup)
+# 3) Get short description of contribution
+# 4) Get place where the topic should be published (own repo --> address)
+# 5) Check current state of worktree: dirty/clean;
+#     if dirty ask if changes should be taken into new topic
+#     ELSE ask if topic should be forked from origin/master or current branch
+# Switch to topic-branch (ie "feature_LFG")
+# Create initial commit (including some suggested commit message
+# 6) Edit the suggested commit message
+# 7) Push to repo (check for ok)
+# Create output to link to this initial commit from a sticky thread on the forum (address of commit, short description)
+# And ask the user to publish this content to some sticky thread
