Seriously, though, I suppose that I can guess as to meanings:

2H = weak raise
3C = limix/constructive unbalanced with four pieces
2NT = limit+ with four pieces
2C = flexible

Yes, having read the forums I supposed this is standard.
...We also play new suits on one level forcing, on 2-level without jump not forcing. 2♠ would be a fit-jump.

Scoring: MP

---

The bidding (MP's) was:
(1♣)-1♥-(DBL)-1♠
(1NT)-P-(P)-2♥
All Pass
 
(1♠ forcing)
    2♥+3
...We both agreed that - even at MP's - we should have done more. (East - a beginner/intermediate - had 4 Spades and 4 HCP)
Q: What should 1♠ forcing, followed by 2♥ mean? Can it be weak looking for better fit in ♠ or is it always game interest?

(1C)-1H-(DBL)-??
What do you bid now (you can assume 2H,2NT,2C,3C are all raises - 2C can be GF if no raise)

I would change the system, 2C should promise support. If you have an unbalanced GF hand without support you can always XX and then bid your suits.
I can understand allowing GF hands without support in 2C if there was no double, but I don't like it. With the double, it seems really bad.

1♠, followed by some nr. of hearts. If opps are serious, we probably don't have a game on.
