+<h1>Contributing</h1>
+<p>
+Developers are needed in SILC project. Everyone who has the time and
+ability is welcome to come and join the project. We need C coders,
+technical writers (to write documentation) and web administrator to take
+over these web pages. Feel free to start narrowing down the TODO
+list.
+<p>
+Interested people are also welcome to give new ideas to the SILC protocol
+that is still in its draft phase. You should probably go and read the
+SILC protocol specification Internet Drafts to get the idea about what
+SILC actually is. The current software version might not give the
+whole picture of the SILC. The Internet Drafts are available in
+<a href="docs.html">documentation page.</a>
+<p>
+There will be anonymous CVS access as soon as I get around to set it up.
+It will be available any day now.

+<p>
+There is SILC server up and running that can be tested. Just give command
+/server silc.pspt.fi to connect to the server. There may be some action
+on channel #silc so you might want to give command /join #silc. Because
+of the current shortcomings of the SILC client and server you won't get
+user list who has joined to the channel thus you don't see who is on the
+channel. To get into action just say hello.

-The Pressrelease:
+The Press release:
+<p>
+New Open Source project called Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC)
+has been started. Initial development version of the software is
+available for testing.
+<p>
+SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
+secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel.
+SILC is IRC like software although internally they are very different.
+Biggest similiarity between SILC and IRC is that they both provide
+conferencing services and that SILC has almost same commands as IRC.
+Other
+than that they are nothing alike. Biggest differences are that SILC is
+secure what IRC is not in any way. The network model is also entirely
+different compared to IRC.
+<p>
+SILC is an open source (or freeware) project and it has been released
+under the GNU General Public Licence. The SILC is free to use and
+everyone
+is free to distribute and change the SILC under the terms of the GNU GPL.
+While there is no guarantee for the product SILC has been tried make
+as secure as possible. Developers are needed and everyone is free to
+contribute their time, skills and ideas for the project.
