+This is the first release we *might* recommend you start a community on. Bear in
 mind that this is still beta software, and so not free of bugs, but we've now
 reached enough stability and moderation functionality that it's doable. We're
 also spooling up invites on `takahe.social <https://takahe.social>`_ as part
 of our own push in this regard - see https://jointakahe.org/takahesocial/ for
-more on that.

+I would also like to specifically thank `Michael Manfre <https://manfre.me/>`_

+We're looking for specific help from the following people as we develop further:
+
+* Visual Design - We'd like to have a proper design system and identity for Takahē
+* Instance admins or developers of non-Mastodon servers - We need help debugging
+  federation issues, especially where we're causing errors we can't see elsewhere.
