+<h1>YARRG development, contribution and troubleshooting</h1>
+
+<h2>Free Software (aka Open Source) licensing</h2>
+
+YARRG is Free Software - you may share and modify it. See the
+licences for details. Not only the client but also the website code
+is Free. The yarrg client, support files, and so forth are under
+the GNU GPL (v3 or later); the website is under the GNU Affero GPL (v3
+or later). </p>
+

+Note that there is <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong> !
+
+<h2>Resources for developers</h2>
+
+<h3>Source code</h3>
+
+<kbd>git-clone http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/</kbd><br>
+obtains the source code of the latest release, which you can also find
+<a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/">as an unpacked tree</a>
+
+<p><a href="source.tar.gz">Live website source code</a> can
+be downloaded, in case we have made changes but not yet pushed them
+(perhaps because we haven't done a release), and to make it easy for
+anyone else who runs a copy of the website to provide everyone with
+the source for their version, the website code itself lets you download
+an up-to-date of its actually-running source code. So this link
+gives you the source code for the pages you are now looking at.
+
+<h3>YARRG lookup website instances</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/">Main released site</a>
+ <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/data">Released code; testing database instance (updated with yarrg --test-servers)</a>
+ <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/code">Testing version of the site code</a>
+ <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/both">Testing code running against the testing database instance</a>
+ </ul>
+
+Each of these allows you to download its own source code so you
+can get both the testing and the main version of the website.
+
+<h3>Data</h3>
+
+<kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/</kbd><br>
+accesses files published for the benefit of the yarrg upload client,
+
+<p>
+
+This directory also contains slightly stale copies (updated daily)
+of the actual databases (in SQLite3 format).
+It is <a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/RSYNC/">also available by http</a>
+but please do not repeatedly download the databases by http - use
+rsync which is much more efficient. Note also that if you want to
+actually run your own improved yarrg website, I can arrange to
+feed you data in real time - see below.
+
+<p>
+
+<kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/test/</kbd><br>
+accesses the data for the testing instance.
+
+<h3>Documentation</h3>
+
+<a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/yarrg/README.devel">README.devel</a>
+has the specification of the mechanism and format for uploading to YARRG.
+
+<h2>Support from the YARRG team</h2>
+
+If you would like to run a (perhaps modified) copy of the YARRG
+website it would be very easy for us to make our system send you
+copies of updates submitted by users of the official YARRG client, in
+the format expected by the YARRG code. Please just ask us - it's just
+a matter of us adding your database instance's special email address
+to our alias file.
+
+<p>
+
+We encourage the development and improvement of this code. Please
+continue to share your improvements with the Puzzle Pirates community.
+In particular, do not remove or break the feature that allows users of
+your website to download the up to date code you are running.
+
+<h2>Contacting the YARRG developers</h2>
+
+Email Ian Jackson ijackson (at) chiark.greenend.org.uk. Or talk to
+any Fleet Officer or above of the crew Special Circumstances on the
+Midnight Ocean.
