Title:
  Please included a README or HACKING file

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It would be nice for new contributors if a file containing some
  pointers existed. It should have:

  * Philosophy behind the document (Does my article belong here?)
  * An overview of the document's layout. (Where should a new article go?)
  * A description of the desired editorial tone, voice, ect... (Should I be dry and technical or should I spice it up?)
  * A description of any conventions used throughout. (Should I start a quoted command with a "$" or not?) 
  * Some brief examples of using ReStructured text (How do get started with writing for this?)
  * A link to a more in depth  ReStructured text tutorial
  * Build instructions (How do I test that I didn't mess up the formatting?)
  * ???
