+Contribute to ASCIIpOrtal
+=========================
+
+ASCIIpOrtal is free software (as in freedom), feel free to look at the
+code and adapt it to suit your needs.
+As your release might be out-of-date, you might want to have a look at
+our Github repository first:
+https://github.com/cymonsgames/ASCIIpOrtal
+
+
+Bug report
+==========
+
+If you find a bug, please report it either on the issue tracker at
+Github [https://github.com/cymonsgames/ASCIIpOrtal/issues] or on the
+ASCIIpOrtal forum [http://cymonsgames.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0]
+
+
+Contributing code
+=================
+
+If you have some improvements or any change to the code in mind,
+please act according to this list:
+ + check the git repo. This may be already implemented but not
+   released;
+ + check the issue tracker at Github;
+ + check the forum;
+ + if your idea hasn't been implemented yet, well, create a post on
+   the forum first;
+ + code it for real.
+
+If possible, fork the Github repo and fill a merge request when you're
+done. Another way to contribute code is to send out patches on the forum.
+
+
+Porting ASCIIpOrtal to new systems
+==================================
+
+So far, ASCIIpOrtal has been known to work on the following systems:
+ + Windows (cross-compiled on a Linux box, but native compilation
+   should work using Mingw);
+ + Linux 32 bits;
+ + Linux 64 bits;
+ + Mac OS X (an old version though);
+ + GP2X;
+ + DINGOO.
+
+If you want to add a new system to this list, you should start a new
+thread on the forum, as it often requires a lot work (getting SDL to
+run on the target system, handling user input, ...).
+
+
+Official releases
+=================
+
+We officially release ASCIIpOrtal packages for the following systems:
+ + Windows: binary zip file;
+ + Linux: binary tarball, debian package (not yet available),
+   Archlinux package (AUR);
+
+We would be very happy to add other systems to that list -- especially
+GP2X and DINGOO, since the code is already running on these.
+
+To build the releases, we are relying on a custom Makefile set: see
+next section. The actual build is done on a 64 bits GNU/Linux system.
+
+
+Adding a Makefile
+=================
+
+If you are willing to help, take a look at our Makefile set; it should
+be as easy as copying 'Makefile.example' and start editing it.
+Make sure to also read 'Makefile.common', and to add your port to the
+list in the main 'Makefile'.
+
+If you get it to work well, please contribute with your Makefile as
+well as informations on how to compile ASCIIpOrtal for your target
+system. For your information, the build is expected to run on a
+64 bits GNU/Linux machine.
