        ## About
        
        Plover (rhymes with "lover") is a desktop application that allows anyone
        to use stenography to write on their computer, up to speeds of 200WPM
        and beyond.
        
        Plover is part of the [Open Steno Project][]. The Open Steno Project's
        goal is to provide everything you need to learn machine shorthand on
        your own, from free software, to cheap hardware, to learning resources.
        
        Plover is GPLv2+ as of version 3.1.0. See the [license][] for details.
        
        ## Installation
        
        Plover runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
        
        View the [installation guide][] which covers downloading, installation,
        and initial configuration.
        
        ## Getting help
        
        Having trouble with Plover?
        
        The Wiki has several pages to help you:
        
        -   [Installation Guide][]
        -   [Beginner's Guide][]
        -   [Supported Hardware][]
        -   [Troubleshooting Common Issues][]
        
        If you are still having trouble, have found a bug, or would like to
        request a new feature, please [search for or create an issue][issues].
        When making a new issue, fill out the form as best you can so that we
        can help you quickly.
        
        If you are looking for more general support (i.e. you don't have a
        specific issue), consider joining the community. We are active on the
        [Discord Chat][], a live chatroom service; and on the [Google Group][],
        a more traditional mailing list.
        
        ## Contributing
        
        The Open Steno Project is always growing, and could use your help!
        
        ### Donations
        
        Plover is developed by volunteers. Donations to Open Steno help fund new
        projects as well as any maintenance costs with publishing Plover.
        
        [Donate here][Donate], donations of any size are very appreciated!
        
        ### Programming
        
        Plover is a cross-platform desktop application written in Python. To
        contribute to Plover, see [contributing][].
        
        If Python isn't your thing, there are other steno-related projects,
        including [StenoJig][] (JavaScript) and [StenoTray][] (Java).
        
        ### Writing, Art, UX, and Web Design
        
        -   The [Plover Wiki][Wiki] discusses Plover and Open Steno in
            general. Edits to the Wiki and new page ideas are welcome.
        -   Graphic art for Plover and stenography in general is always
            appreciated. The app's icons are worked on at [morinted/plover\_icons][].
            You may consider reimagining or reposing [Plover's mascot, Dolores][Mascot].
        -   UX improvement suggestions are welcome. Plover runs on Windows, Mac,
            and Linux, and should be powerful but out of the way, which poses
            some interesting challenges. Please drop in to the Discord server to
            brainstorm with users and the developers.
        -   Open Steno has websites that accept contributions, including the
            [Open Steno Project Homepage][Open Steno Project] ([source][Open
            Steno Project Homepage Source]) and [Plover's Homepage][Homepage]
            ([source][Homepage Source]).
        
        ## Development Environment and Building
        
        Plover is cross-platform and has separate build instructions for each
        platform.
