-==========
+*******************************************************************************
+
+## What is gLabels-qt?
+
+gLabels-qt is the development repository for the next major version of gLabels (4.0).
+
+## What's new in glabels-4.0?
+
+- Based on Qt instead of Gtk.
+- Unlike previous versions, glabels-4.0 should be a cross-platform application.  So far, it
+  has been built and tested under Linux and Windows (using MSYS/MINGW toolchain).
+- It has a new general UI which helps guide the user through typical workflows.
+
+## Status
+
+gLabels-qt has been under off-and-on development since October 2013.
+It is still missing several features to bring it in parity with glabels-3.4.  These include
+
+- Barcode objects
+- Internationalization
+- Product template designer
+- Online manual
+
+## Help Needed
+
+* Help is needed to add support to build and package glabels for other platforms.  These include
+
+  - Windows (VisualStudio)
+  - Windows (MINGW 64bit)
+  - Mac
+  - Linux (flatpak)
+  - Linux (snap)
+  - Linux (appimage)
+
+* Help is needed writing online documentation.
+
+* Help is needed setting up internationalization and writing translations.
+
+* Additional internal icon themes.
+
+* Suggestions.
+
+* For code contributions, see [docs/HACKING.md](docs/HACKING.md).
