The Monkeysphere project is a new project with just one mailing list

+## Internet Relay Chat ##
+
+We're currently holding down an IRC channel on the `irc.oftc.net`
+network. You can find us in `#monkeysphere` if you prefer to
+communicate this way.
+
+## Development ##
The Monkeysphere uses a distributed development model with
[git](http://git.or.cz/). Once you've [installed
clone](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html)
from this web site:
- git clone git://monkeysphere.info/monkeysphere
+ git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/monkeysphere
+
+If you would like to build a deb package from the latest release, you can type
+the following from inside the monkeysphere top level directory:
+
+ make debian-package
+
+This command will build an upstream tarball, attach the debian packaging
+directory, and build a sample deb.
