+It has been updated for version 2.0.0.

+Managing layers
+---------------
+
+There are some different layers available by default in Chimère (OSM Mapnik, OSM
+Mapquest, OSM Transport map, OSM Cyclemap). You can add some extra layer using
+the web administration pages of Chimère. The new layer is defined with the
+appropriate `Openlayers <http://openlayers.org/>`_ JS code. This JS code must
+be a compatible Openlayers Layer instance with no ending semi-colon. For
+instance defining a Bing layer can be done with this kind of code::
+
+    new OpenLayers.Layer.Bing({
+                name: "Aerial",
+                key: "my-bing-API-key",
+                type: "Aerial"})
+
+
+Refer to the `Openlayers documentation API
+<http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.12/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers-js.html>`_
+for more details.
+
+
+Customizing the layout and the design
+-------------------------------------
+
+If you only want to customize the CSS, the easiest way to do it is to add a
+link to an extra CSS to your *Areas* cf. :ref:`managing-areas`.
+
+If you want to do larger changes in the layout and the style the (well named)
+example_project can be customized to fit your needs. Each template file present
+in the *chimere/templates* directory can be copied in your *myproject/templates*
+directory and then modified.
+You only need to copy files that you want to modify. These files are in
+Django template language mainly made of pure HTML with some logic. Refer to
+the `Django template documentation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/templates/>`_
+for more details.
