-h1. General topics
+h1. Bitmask
-h2. How to I remove a provider?
+h2. Is Bitmask a service I can use?
-We are working on an easy way to remove a provider once it has been added. For now, you can remove the provider manually. Suppose the provider was example.org:
+No. Bitmask is just an app. Your provider is the one that offers you services (email, vpn), and they use the LEAP Platform for maintaining their infrastructure.
-* On Linux, run @rm -r ~/.config/leap/providers/example.org@
-* On Mac, ???
-* On Windows, ???
+However, for the sake of testing the application, we also have a couple of demo providers setup (demo, mail). However, those providers do not offer any guarantee of continuity to their accounts.
+h2. Is Bitmask Free Software?
+
+Yes. Bitmask is licensed under the GPL. All development happens in the open in our repos.
+
+h1. Providers
+
+h2. Is there a list of known providers?
+
+Yes! You can enter any of these in the provider setup wizard:
+
+* https://demo.bitmask.net
+* https://mail.bitmask.net
+* https://calyx.org
+* https://riseup.net
+* https://leapcolombia.org
+* https://codigosur.org
+
+h2. Are the services free of charge?
+
+That depends on your provider. Your provider might offer the services for free, suggesting a donation, or it might bill you for the services.
+
+h2. Are the services that Bitmask uses open for registration?
+
+Again, that depends on your provider. The registration policy might be open, or invite-only.
+
+h1. Who is behind Bitmask
+
+h2. How does Bitmask relate to LEAP?
+
+Bitmask is part of the software developed by the LEAP Encryption Access Project non-profit. LEAP is also the platform that providers use to deploy services.
+
+h2. I found a bug! Now what?
+
+Please report it to us in our [[bug tracker => https://0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-dev]].
+
+h1. Contributions
+
+h2. I am a translator. How can I help?
+
+Translations are welcome. You can translate the user documentation (this site), the [[developer documentation => https://bitmask.rtfd.io]], or the software itself (i18n support in the makings).
+
+h2. What are the communication channels?
+
+We hang in the #leap channel in <pre>irc.freenode.org</pre>
+The public mailing list is discuss@lists.riseup.net. There's another mailing list for beta-testers at bitmask@lists.riseup.net.
+You can also write to info@leap.se for general questions.
