 OpenVPN for Android
 =============
 
-The official or main repository is a Mercurial (hg) repository at http://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/source/
+Description
+------------
+With the new VPNService of Android API level 14+ (Ice Cream Sandwhich) it is possible to create a VPN service that does not root access. This project is a port of OpenVPN.
 
-There is a git clone at GitHub under https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn
+Read the README
+---------------
+If you want to develop on ics-openvpn please read the [doc/README.txt](http://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/source/browse/doc/README.txt) *before* opening issues or emailing me. 
 
-Please read the doc/README before asking question or starting development.
+You can help
+------------
+Even if you are no programmer you can help by translating the OpenVPN client into your native language. [Crowdin provides a free service for non commercial open source projects](http://crowdin.net/project/ics-openvpn/invite) (Fixing/completing existing translations is very welcome as well)
+
+FAQ
+-----
+You can find the FAQ here (same as in app): http://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/wiki/FAQ
+
+Note to administrators
+------------------------
+
+You make your life and that of your users easier if you embed the certificates into the .ovpn file. You or the users can mail the .ovpn as a attachment to the phone and directly import and use it. Also downloading and importing the file works. The MIME Type should be application/x-openvpn-profile. 
+
+Inline files are supported since OpenVPN 2.1rc1 and documented in the  [OpenVPN 2.3 man page](https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn23ManPage) (under INLINE FILE SUPPORT) 
+
+(Using inline certifaces can also make your life on non Android platforms easier since you have only one file.)
+
+For example `ca mycafile.pem` becomes
+
+  <ca>
+  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+  MIIHPTCCBSWgAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADB5MRAwDgYDVQQKEwdSb290
+  [...]
+  -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+  </ca>
+
