+===================================
+Parent contact Mapping in relations
+===================================
+
+This module maps automatically creates contact relations for contact
+addresss of a partner. Inversely, you can create a contact relation between a
+person and another partner, and the person will automatically become a
+contact address for the other partner. A person may only have one contact
+relation, because a partner may only have one parent.
+
+
+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* hide/forbade the deletion of the "Is contact of" and "Has Contact" installed
+  relation types
+
