-From most important to least important:
+Here are a list of some of the things that would be really nice to see
+contributions for, though you may also contribute in other ways.
 
 ### Message Extensions ###
 
-There's a lot of numerics and commands. Please add extensions, even partially complete
-extensions, for any numerics you deal with.

+complete extensions, for any numerics you want to deal with. Pull requests for

+tests are even better.

+Tennu is missing many commands from IRC. If you want to add them, please
 do so. Just make sure to also add the method wrapper to the client class.
 
-### Tests ###
+Another feature that is missing is the returning of a Promise when doing
+things. For instance, Client.join(chan) should return a Promise that
+succeeds when the channel is joined with the topic, names list, and
+channel name in the success object with an error case with the numeric
+that gives the reason for failure.
 
-Either help port tests to Mocha, or add new tests.
+### Tests ###
 
-(If you do port tests to Mocha, add Mocha to the devDependencies and place them in /test)
+Not everything is tested. If you add a feature, or change something, please
+attach to your pull request some tests that show your code is working. Or
+if you find a bug, a test case that shows the bug in action would be great.
 
 ### Built In Modules ###

+Please feel free to write and extend the Server, User, and/or Channel modules.
+
+They should really be the meat of the "IRC" framework, but like most
+parts of this framework that are IRC specific, they have been neglected. :(
+
+## Building ##
+
+Tennu is compiled from Sweet.js to ECMAScript. Sweet.js is a superset of
+ECMAScript 5 that adds macros. If you don't want to use macros, just write
+vanilla JavaScript.
+
+All the source files are located under `/src`.
+
+Just write `npm run build` and the project will be built, usually within
+five seconds.
+
+Note that `npm test` will first rebuild the project before running the
+tests, so if you are testing, there's no need to run build.
+
+## On Versioning  ##
+
+Tennu follows SemVer like all npm packages should.
+
+While the version is greater than 1.0.0, I, Havvy, don't actually consider
+this feature complete, but I'm not working on it as much, and it is stable.
+
+The version number shouldn't really matter that much. Documentation, other
+than the changelog, will always focus on the latest version. Should a
+major rewrite of Tennu happen, it'll most probably be in another language
+(such as Elixir).
+
+Thus, when making a backards incompatible change, if it's possible to
+deprecate, deprecate the functionality instead, and then it can be removed
+two major releases later. If it's not possible to deprecate, the change
+may be put on hold.
+
+That said, do *not* change the version number yourself. Just give a
+heads up as to what you are doing so the version can be changed properly.
+
+## Format & Style ##
+
+Indent with four spaces. Not two spaces. Not tabs.
 
-### 1.0.0 Release Checklist ###
+Define functions (both expressions and statements) like this:
 
-Getting closer to 1.0.0 would be nice.
+```javascript
+function fnName (arg, list) {
+    // body
+}
+```
 
-### ChunkedIrcMessageHandler ###
+Spaces go before and afer binary operators. For example: `2 + 2`, `(4 + 3) * 2`
 
-Listens to the IrcMessageHandler, it chunks together list-like replies such
-as whois and isupport numerics. For messages that aren't chunked, just pass
-them through normally.
+Do not use `++` and `--` operators. Use `+= 1` and `-= 1` instead. If
+this means adding another statement, so be it.
 
-Not a goal for 1.0.0 though.
+Tennu is built using Sweet.js, so we have access to macros. Where appropriate,
+you may add your own inline macros at the top of a file. You may also use
+macro packages for ES6 syntactic sugar, just one hasn't been added yet.
+Likewise, you can add in a macro package to remove parenthesis around block
+predicates. That just hasn't been added yet.
 
-## Format ##
+## Documentation ##
 
-* Four space indents
-* Favor factories over constuctors. Where you do use a constructor, make
-  sure it works without being called in a `new` context.
-* `function fnName (arg, list) {`
-* Spaces around binary operators. Ex:  `2 + 2`, `(4 + 3) * 2`.
-* No harmony features.
+[https://tennu.github.io](Tennu's documentation) should be updated as
+necessary. Send a PR to the documentation repo, and it'll be accepted
+without question most of the time. There's also no real need to be clean
+about your commits to the documentation repo.

+many updates will be breaking updates, so expect to see the major version
+go up to pretty high numbers. The alternative was to have verisons 0.16.x
