+# Coq
+Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write
+mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an
+environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs.
+
+## Installation
+See the file `INSTALL` for installation procedure.
+
+## Documentation
+The documentation is part of the archive in directory doc. The
+documentation of the last released version is available on the Coq
+web site at [coq.inria.fr/doc](http://coq.inria.fr/doc).
+
+## Changes
+There is a file named `CHANGES` that explains the differences and the
+incompatibilities since last versions. If you upgrade Coq, please read
+it carefully.
+
+## Availability
+Coq is available from [coq.inria.fr](http://coq.inria.fr).
+
+## The Coq Club
+The Coq Club moderated mailing list is meant to be a standard way
+to discuss questions about the Coq system and related topics. The
+subscription link can be found at [coq.inria.fr/community](http://coq.inria.fr/community).
+
+The topics to be discussed in the club should include:
+
+* technical problems;
+* questions about proof developments;
+* suggestions and questions about the implementation;
+* announcements of proofs;
+* theoretical questions about typed lambda-calculi which are
+  closely related to Coq.
+
+For any questions/suggestions about the Coq Club, please write to
+`coq-club-request@inria.fr`.
+
+## Bugs report
+Send your bug reports by filling a form at [coq.inria.fr/bugs](http://coq.inria.fr/bugs).
+
+To be effective, bug reports should mention the OCaml version used
+to compile and run Coq, the Coq version (`coqtop -v`), the configuration
+used, and include a complete source example leading to the bug.
