+In this directory
+-----------------
+
+This directory has helpful information about what you need to know to
+hack on Tor!
+
+First, read 'GettingStarted.txt' to learn how to get a start in Tor
+development.
+
+If you've decided to write a patch, 'CodingStandards.txt' will give
+you a bunch of information about how we structure our code.
+
+It's important to get code right!  Reading 'WritingTests.txt' will
+tell you how to write and run tests in the Tor codebase.
+
+There are a bunch of other programs we use to help maintain and
+develop the codebase: 'HelpfulTools.txt' can tell you how to use them
+with Tor.
+
+If it's your job to put out Tor releases, see 'ReleasingTor.txt' so
+that you don't miss any steps!
