+If you need help, search the issue tracker to see if anyone has asked
+your question before. If it hasn't, a good place to ask first is our
+chat room on [[https://gitter.im/vermiculus/sx.el][Gitter]]. Opening an issue is welcome of course, but chat
+will likely be faster for you. If a code change needs to be made, an
+issue can be written up as necessary.
+
+Have a great idea for SX? Again, discuss it on [[https://gitter.im/vermiculus/sx.el][Gitter]] first! Don't
+limit ideas to mimicking the official website, either -- this is
+Emacs; we should take advantage of its abilities.
+
+To see what we're working on /right now/, check out our [[http://www.waffle.io/vermiculus/sx.el][Waffle board]].
+If you would like to contribute, feel free to take on anything in the
+=ready= column (which translates to the =ready= label in GitHub
+issues). These are issues which have been discussed enough to provide
+a good idea of what should be done. Issues in =backlog= are either
+still under discussion or simply are in the backlog.
+
+Of course, the greatest gift you can give to SX is a good word. Star
+the project on GitHub, mention it to others who would use it in your
+StackExchange chat rooms (as always, be courteous and respectful), and
+use it yourself.
+
+Enjoy!
