+General discussion and support
+------------------------------
+
+For general discussion of Ouroboros,
+[subscribe](https://www.freelists.org/list/ouroboros) to our mailing
+list: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+
+For day-to-day discussions, join our IRC chat:
+[\#ouroboros](irc://irc.freenode.net/ouroboros).
+
+Contact us on twitter: @ODecentralize
+
+Contributing code
+-----------------
+
+Contributions should be sent as patches to the mailing list, using your
+real name and real e-mail address.
+
+The git repository contains three branches:
+
+-   master: Contains the most stable version of Ouroboros.
+-   testing: Contains tested code but may still contain bugs.
+-   be: Contains untested but compiling code.
+
+New development is done against the 'be' branch of the git repository.
+The testing and master branches take only bugfixes.
+
+Bug reporting
+-------------
+
+Please report all bugs [here](/bugzilla). When reporting a bug, please
+do the following:
+
+1.  Provide a description of the bug. How did you get it and which
+    version of Ouroboros were you using? Which Operating System are you
+    on?
+2.  Provide as much technical information as possible (system logs,
+    debug traces, \...).
+3.  If possible, provide a minimal code example to reproduce the bug.
+4.  If you can provide a bugfix, provide it against the HEAD of the most
+    stable branch where the bug is present and send the patch to the
+    mailing list.
+
+Todo list
+---------
+
+We are currently looking for
+
+-   Testing and bugfixing.
+-   Integration testing for the build system beyond the "make check"
+    unit tests.
+-   People that are interested in setting up some nodes to establish a
+    global testing layer.
+-   Non-blocking flow allocation: Allow specifying a {0, 0} timespec to
+    return immediately and use fevent() to know when the flow is ready
+    (or allocation failed).
+-   Asynchronous IPC over the UNIX sockets. For each command to the
+    IRMd, we create a UNIX socket, send the request and wait for the
+    response. This could be changed so that there is only a single UNIX
+    socket that is used for all messaging. This would simplify parallel
+    querying of the IPCPs and speed up flow allocation. The far-future
+    option is to ditch UNIX sockets and bootstrap Ouroboros local IPC
+    over itself.
+-   ECDH-AES encryption using libssl and/or libgcrypt. The goal is to
+    support both libraries so that we have a fallback should major bugs
+    be discovered in one of them.
+-   Customized packet serialization to remove the dependency on Google
+    Protocol Buffers. We like GPB, but it's not perfect. Importing
+    .proto files may give rise to multiple definitions and we found no
+    way to solve that.
+-   Caching for the DHT.
+-   Cross-compilation to OpenWRT (musl).
+-   Ported applications! If you want to add native Ouroboros support for
+    your applications, just let us know and we will help you out!
