 Prog8 - Structured Programming Language for 8-bit 6502/65c02 microprocessors
@@ -9,11 +10,35 @@ This is a structured programming language for the 8-bit 6502/6510/65c02 micropro
 as used in many home computers from that era. It is a medium to low level programming language,
 which aims to provide many conveniences over raw assembly code (even when using a macro assembler).
 
+**Want to buy me a coffee or a pizza perhaps?**
+
+This project was created over the last couple of years by dedicating thousands of hours of my free time to it, to make it the best I possibly can.
+If you like Prog8, and think it's worth a nice cup of hot coffee or a delicious pizza, 
+you can help me out a little bit over at [ko-fi.com/irmen](https://ko-fi.com/irmen).

 Documentation
 -------------
 Full documentation (syntax reference, how to use the language and the compiler, etc.) can be found at:
 https://prog8.readthedocs.io/
 
+How to get it/build it
+----------------------
+
+- Download the latest [official release](https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases) from github.
+- Or, if you want/need a bleeding edge development version, you can:
+  - download a build artifact zipfile from a recent [github action build](https://github.com/irmen/prog8/actions).
+  - you can also compile it yourself from source. [Instructions here](https://prog8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/compiling.html).
+- Alternatively, you can also install the compiler as a package on some linux distros:
+  - Arch (via AUR): [`prog8`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/prog8)
+
+Community
+---------
+Most of the development on Prog8 and the use of it is currently centered around 
+the [Commander X16](https://www.commanderx16.com/) retro computer. Their [discord server](https://discord.gg/nS2PqEC) contains a small channel
+dedicated to Prog8. Other than that, use the issue tracker on github.
