+These are preliminary instructions, until we get the config more polished.
+
+To build Quassel IRC, cd to build/ and run qmake && make. This builds all three
+versions of Quassel. You may choose individual targets by setting qmakes BUILD
+variable:
+
+qmake BUILD=<foo>
+
+where <foo> is any combination of qtclient, core, mono or all. Note that in order
+to change this later, you will have to make distclean, otherwise the BUILD setting
+seems to be ignored by qmake.
+
+After running make, you will find the binaries in build/targets.
+
+NOTE: As of now, quassel needs the directory $HOME/.quassel to exist prior to first
+ run, otherwise it cannot create its database! This will be changed soon, but
+ for now, you will just need to create this directory.
+
+The core-side database will be created automatically. A user named 'Default' with
+the password 'password' will be created, so in order to connect to the core, you
+need to enter this information. The core listens on port 4242 for incoming connections.
+
+Please also do read the README file.
+
+Thanks,
+~ The Quassel IRC Team
