+If you find a bug or want to discuss the best way to add a new feature, please
+open an [issue](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues).
+If you have a question or want to discuss the best way to do something with
+Vim, you can use [StackExchange](https://vi.stackexchange.com/)
+or one of the [Maillists](https://www.vim.org/community.php).
+
+
+## What is Vim? ##
+
+Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor
+[Vi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi).  Many new
+features have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line
+history, on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations,
+script language, etc.  There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
+available.  Still, Vi compatibility is maintained, those who have Vi "in the
+fingers" will feel at home.
+See [`runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt`](runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt) for differences with
+Vi.
+
+This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files.
+All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type
+with ten fingers can work very fast.  Additionally, function keys can be
+mapped to commands by the user, and the mouse can be used.
+
+Vim runs under MS-Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), macOS, Haiku, VMS and almost all
+flavours of UNIX.  Porting to other systems should not be very difficult.
+Older versions of Vim run on MS-DOS, MS-Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista,
+Amiga DOS, Atari MiNT, BeOS, RISC OS and OS/2.  These are no longer maintained.
+
+For Vim9 script see [README_VIM9](README_VIM9.md).
+
+## Distribution ##
+
+You can often use your favorite package manager to install Vim.  On Mac and
+Linux a small version of Vim is pre-installed, you still need to install Vim
+if you want more features.
+
+There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems.
+This `README.md` file comes with the runtime archive.  It includes the
+documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime.  To run
+Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive.
+Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you
+want or must compile it yourself.  Check https://www.vim.org/download.php for
+an overview of currently available distributions.
+
+Some popular places to get the latest Vim:
+* Check out the git repository from [GitHub](https://github.com/vim/vim).
+* Get the source code as an [archive](https://github.com/vim/vim/releases).
+* Get a Windows executable from the
+[vim-win32-installer](https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases) repository.
+
+
+
+## Compiling ##
+
+If you obtained a binary distribution you don't need to compile Vim.  If you
+obtained a source distribution, all the stuff for compiling Vim is in the
+[`src`](/src) directory.  See [`src/INSTALL`](src/INSTALL) for instructions.
+
+
+## Installation ##
+
+See one of these files for system-specific instructions.  Either in the
+[READMEdir directory](./READMEdir/) (in the repository) or
+the top directory (if you unpack an archive):
+
+	README_ami.txt		Amiga
+	README_unix.txt		Unix
+	README_dos.txt		MS-DOS and MS-Windows
+	README_mac.txt		Macintosh
+	README_haiku.txt	Haiku
+	README_vms.txt		VMS
+
+There are other `README_*.txt` files, depending on the distribution you used.
+
+
+## Documentation ##
+
+The Vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners.  Often it can be
+started as `vimtutor`.  See `:help tutor` for more information.
+
+The best is to use `:help` in Vim.  If you don't have an executable yet, read
+[`runtime/doc/help.txt`](/runtime/doc/help.txt).
+It contains pointers to the other documentation files.
+The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use
+Vim.  See `:help user-manual`.
+
+
+## Copying ##
+
+Vim is Charityware.  You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
+encouraged to make a donation to help orphans in Uganda.  Please read the file
+[`runtime/doc/uganda.txt`](runtime/doc/uganda.txt)
+for details (do `:help uganda` inside Vim).
+
+Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an
+unmodified copy of Vim.  Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license
+text must always be included.  For modified versions, a few restrictions apply.
+The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and
+distribute it.
+
+
+## Sponsoring ##
+
+Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort.  To show
+your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue
+working on Vim please send a donation.
+
+Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children
+in Uganda.  See [`runtime/doc/uganda.txt`](runtime/doc/uganda.txt).  But
+at the same time donations increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim!
