 =========
 
-Python 3+ compatible port of the [configobj](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/configobj/) library
+Python 3+ compatible port of the [configobj](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/configobj/) library.
 
+Documentation
+=========
+Found at [readthedocs](http://configobj.readthedocs.org/)
+
+Status
+=========
+This project has is now maintained by @EliAndrewC and @robdennis with the blessing of original creator [Michael Foord](http://www.voidspace.org.uk/) and the most recent release is version *5.0.0* (view [changelog](http://configobj.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configobj.html#version-5-0-0)).
+
+For long time ConfigObj users, the biggest change is in the officially supported python versions:
+- 2.6
+- 2.7
+- 3.2
+- 3.3
+
+(notably adding python 3 support; previously this was 2.3 - 2.6)
+Other versions may work, but this is what travis and tox uses to run the tests on commit.
+
+Roadmap
+=========
+- Fixing any issues introduced as a result of the added python 3 support
+- Moving tests away from doctests in favor of pytest (reasonable now that versions older than 2.6 are dropped)
+- Considering new features that work in a backwards-compatible way (feel free to open an issue with your suggestion)
