+How to contribute
+-----------------
+
+Sylpheed Main: 
+
+       submit it to the Sylpheed ML, Hiroyuki, or Paul Mangan
+       (for incorporation on the Sylpheed Patches page)
+
+Sylpheed Claws:
+
+       It is highly recommended to use the sourceforge project page
+       of claws. Check: 
+       http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=384600&group_id=25528&func=browse
+
+       If that's too troublesome, either contact Paul Mangan or consider
+       posting to the sylpheed claws users mailing list.
+
+       Bugs can be reported in the same way; the recommended web page:
+       http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=25528&atid=384598
+
+       Ofcourse you can also post to the sylpheed claws users
+       mailing list.
+
+Also, we really try to incorporate good contributions, but sometimes we
+don't have enough time. If the contribution is really big, or requires
+a long time to stabilize, send a mail to Paul Mangan. We can probably
+arrange access to the Claws branch.
+
+
+How to request features
+-----------------------
+
+Ask around in both Sylpheed ML and Sylpheed Claws Users ML. Note
+that some developers may already thought about your feature, may
+perhaps be implementing it - or the feature was already discussed
+and rejected for whatever reason.  You might want to go ahead and 
+hack a patch for it. (That would be very cool!) Another
+possibility is to use the Feature Request Tracker at the
+sourceforge project page.
