+API stability
+=============
+
+No API stability has been promised to anyone: go wild, there's no issue with
+breaking APIs at this point in time.
+
+
+Portability
+===========
+
+libfprint is primarily written for Linux. However, I'm interested in
+supporting efforts to port this to other operating systems too.
+
+You should ensure code is portable wherever possible. Try and use GLib rather
+than OS-specific features.
+
+Endianness must be considered in all code. libfprint must support both big-
+and little-endian systems.
+
+
+Coding Style
+============
+
+This project follows Linux kernel coding style but with a tab width of 4.
+
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+All additions of public API functions must be accompanied with doxygen
+comments.
+
+All changes which potentially change the behaviour of the public API must
+be reflected by updating the appropriate doxygen comments.
+
+
+Contributing
+============
+
+Patches should be sent to the fprint mailing list detailed on the website.
+A subscription is required.

 libfprint
+=========
+
+libfprint is part of the fprint project:
 http://www.reactivated.net/fprint
 
+libfprint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the
+University of Manchester with the aim of hiding differences between different
+consumer fingerprint scanners and providing a single uniform API to application
+developers. The ultimate goal of the fprint project is to make fingerprint
+scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.
+
+For more information on libfprint, supported devices, API documentation, etc.,
+see the homepage:
+http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/Libfprint
+
 libfprint is primarily licensed under the GNU LGPL. HOWEVER, THIS PRERELEASE
 VERSION INCLUDES GPL CODE FROM LIBTHINKFINGER, therefore distribution is
 subject to both the terms of the LGPL (see COPYING) *and* the GPL
 (see COPYING.GPL).
 
+At release time, I will contact libthinkfinger authors and see if they will
+be happy to relicense. I expect they will.
+
 libfprint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution:
 http://fingerprint.nist.gov/NBIS/index.html
 We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have
 determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project,
 see http://reactivated.net/fprint/US_export_control
