+# Sink
+
+Sink is a data access layer handling synchronization, caching and indexing.
+
+To build it's documentation please run the builddocs.sh script or see the docs/ subdirectory.
+
+Discussion of the code should be done on the kde-pim at kde.org mailing list
+or in #kontact on IRC.
+
+Note that all feature development should happen in feature branches, and that
+the mainline development branch is "develop". Master is for releases. It is
+recommended (though not required) to use the "git flow" tools to make branched
+development easy (and easy for others to coordinate with):
