+Guidelines for developers
+-------------------------
+
+* Each module should be contained in a folder of its name (e.g. 
+  `mod_ping/mod_ping.lua`)
+* Each module should have a wiki page with a description, 
+  usage, configuration and todo sections (feel free to copy an 
+  existing one as a template)
+* Commit messages should begin with the name of the plugin they 
+  are for (e.g. `mod_ping: Set correct namespace on pongs`) 
+
+Instructions on cloning the repository are at 
+http://code.google.com/p/prosody-modules/source/checkout - if you have 
+commit access you will also see a link on that page to view your Google 
+Code password (not the same as your Google account password) to push your 
+changes.

+
+*Add-on modules for Prosody IM Server*
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Community repository for non-core, unofficial and/or experimental plugins 
+for [Prosody][].
+
+If you are a developer and would like to host your Prosody module in this 
+repository, or want to contribute to existing modules, simply introduce 
+yourself and request commit access on our [mailing list][].
+
+Notes for users
+----------------
+
+There are lots of fun and exciting modules to be found here, we know 
+you'll like it.  However please note that each module is in a different 
+state of development.  Some are proof-of-concept, others are quite stable 
+and ready for production use.  Be sure to read the wiki page of any 
+module before installing it on your server.
+
+We are working on methods to easily download and install modules from 
+this repository.  In the meantime most modules are either a single file 
+and easy to install, or contain installation instructions on their wiki 
+page.  You can browse the files stored in this repository at 
+<http://prosody-modules.googlecode.com/hg/>.
+
+Prosody 0.8x compatibility
+--------------------------
+
+Due to a number of backwards-incompatible API changes in Prosody 0.9, 
+prosody-modules for 0.8 are now maintained separately at 
+<http://0-8.prosody-modules.googlecode.com/hg/>.
