-Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, queueing, and caching.
+A platform for storing and organising information and documentation. Details for BookStack can be found on the official website at https://www.bookstackapp.com/.
-Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications. A superb inversion of control container, expressive migration system, and tightly integrated unit testing support give you the tools you need to build any application with which you are tasked.

-## Official Documentation
+## 📚 Project Definition
-Documentation for the framework can be found on the [Laravel website](http://laravel.com/docs).
+BookStack is an opinionated documentation platform that provides a pleasant and simple out-of-the-box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it, but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.
-## Contributing
+BookStack is not designed as an extensible platform to be used for purposes that differ to the statement above.
-Thank you for considering contributing to the Laravel framework! The contribution guide can be found in the [Laravel documentation](http://laravel.com/docs/contributions).
+In regard to development philosophy, BookStack has a relaxed, open & positive approach. We aim to slowly yet continuously evolve the platform while providing a stable & easy upgrade path.
-## Security Vulnerabilities
+You can read more about the project and its origins in [our FAQ here](https://www.bookstackapp.com/about/project-faq/).
-If you discover a security vulnerability within Laravel, please send an e-mail to Taylor Otwell at
[email protected]. All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.

+
+## 🛠️ Development & Testing
+
+Please see our [development docs](dev/docs/development.md) for full details regarding work on the BookStack source code.
+
+If you're just looking to customize or extend your own BookStack instance, take a look at our [Hacking BookStack documentation page](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/hacking-bookstack/) for details on various options to achieve this without altering the BookStack source code.
+
+Details about BookStack's versioning scheme and the general release process [can be found here](dev/docs/release-process.md).
+
+## 🌎 Translations
+
+Translations for text within BookStack is managed through the [BookStack project on Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/bookstack). Some strings have colon-prefixed variables such as `:userName`. Leave these values as they are as they will be replaced at run-time.
+
+Please use [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/bookstack) to contribute translations instead of opening a pull request. The translations within the working codebase can be out-of-date, and merging via code can cause conflicts & sync issues. If for some reason you can't use Crowdin feel free to open an issue to discuss alternative options.
+
+If you'd like a new language to be added to Crowdin, for you to be able to provide translations for, please [open a new issue here](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/new?template=language_request.yml).
+
+Please note, translations in BookStack are provided to the "Crowdin Global Translation Memory" which helps BookStack and other projects with finding translations. If you are not happy with contributing to this then providing translations to BookStack, even manually via GitHub, is not advised.
+
+## 🎁 Contributing, Issues & Pull Requests
+
+Feel free to [create issues](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/new/choose) to request new features or to report bugs & problems. Just please follow the template given when creating the issue.
+
+Pull requests are welcome but, unless it's a small tweak, it may be best to open the pull request early or create an issue for your intended change to discuss how it will fit into the project and plan out the merge. Just because a feature request exists, or is tagged, does not mean that feature would be accepted into the core project.
+
+Pull requests should be created from the `development` branch since they will be merged back into `development` once done. Please do not build from or request a merge into the `release` branch as this is only for publishing releases. If you are looking to alter CSS or JavaScript content please edit the source files found in `resources/`. Any CSS or JS files within `public` are built from these source files and therefore should not be edited directly.
+
+The project's code of conduct [can be found here](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/blob/development/.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+## 🔒 Security
+
+Security information for administering a BookStack instance can be found on the [documentation site here](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/security/).
+
+If you'd like to be notified of new potential security concerns you can [sign-up to the BookStack security mailing list](https://updates.bookstackapp.com/signup/bookstack-security-updates).
+
+If you would like to report a security concern, details of doing so [can be found here](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/blob/development/.github/SECURITY.md).
+
+## ♿ Accessibility
+
+We want BookStack to remain accessible to as many people as possible. We aim for at least WCAG 2.1 Level A standards where possible although we do not strictly test this upon each release. If you come across any accessibility issues please feel free to open an issue.
+
+## 🖥️ Website, Docs & Blog
