+                   Photo and Image Kooker Application
+                      2.99 Development Branch
+                   ------------------------------
+
+This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
+way to the next stable release: PIKA 3.0. PIKA 2.99 may or may not do
+what you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
+version, please use PIKA 2.10 instead.
+
+If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
+hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
+still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
+
+If you want to hack on PIKA, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
+For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
+
+

+3. Discussion Channels
+======================
+
+We have several discussion channels dedicated to PIKA user and
+development discussion. There is more info at:
+
+        https://heckin.technology/AlderconeStudio/PIKApp/discuss.html
+
+Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
+
+Pika-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
+tips, discussion of cool effects, etc.  Gimp-developer-list is oriented
+to PIKA core and plug-in developers.  Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
+about PIKA interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
+want to be subscribed to pika-user-list. If you want to help develop
+PIKA, the pika-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
+want to help with GUI design, the pika-gui list is where you want to
+subscribe.
+
+Other discussion channels can be listed on this page when they are
+moderated by a team member, such as forums.
+
+Finally, for the real junkies, there are IRC channels devoted to PIKA.
+On PIKANet (a private free software oriented network) there is #pika.
+Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the PIKANet servers are:
+
+	irc.gimp.org:6667
+	irc.us.gimp.org:6667
+	irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
+
+
+4. Customizing
+==============
+
+The look of PIKA's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
+by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
+gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
+Additionally, PIKA reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/PIKA/2.99/pika.css` so you
+can have settings that only apply to PIKA.
+
+You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
+editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/PIKA/2.99/shortcutsrc`.

+Have fun,
