+Welcome to Colobot project repository
+
+This repository contains the source files of Colobot game released on open source license (GNU GPLv3) by the producer Epitec CH.
+The sources were released and the rights granted to a group of Polish Colobot fans centered around the site http://colobot.cba.pl/
+This repository contains only the source code of the game. The necessary data files will soon be available as a separate download.
+For now, though, you can download the original download package released by Epitec (the link is on http://colobot.cba.pl/ site).
+
+For more information on the project, see the wiki pages.
+
+Status
+
+Our first goal has been reached now: the project has been successfully ported to CMake build system and MinGW compiler
+from the original MSVC6 project.
+
+Now our goal is to port the game to OpenGL and SDL, thus making it multiplatform. Further goals include adding
+new features to the game, though that will be decided later on.
+
+Compiling and running the game
+
+For these instructions see HOWTO.txt file.

+If you want to help in the project, please contact us on the forum on our website (there is also an English board).
