+# Akeeba Contact Us
+
+A simple contact form component for FOF 3
+
+## What does it do?
+
+It lets you add a very simple contact form on your site. Each contact category can have a different set of recipients. Also, each contact category can have an auto-responder. We built this for use on our site. 
+
+## Download
+
+Pre-built packages of Akeeba Release System are made available through [our GitHub repository's Releases page](https://github.com/akeeba/contactus/releases).
+
+## No support - For developers only
+
+This software is provided **WITHOUT ANY KIND OF SUPPORT WHATSOEVER**. It's also too simple to even have any kind of documentation whatsoever.
+
+If you are a developer you are free to submit a pull request with your code fix, as long as there is a clear description of what was not working for you, why and how you fixed it. 
+ 
+## Prerequisites
+
+In order to build the installation packages of this component you will need to have the following tools:
+
+* A command line environment. Using Bash under Linux / Mac OS X works best. On Windows you will need to run most tools through an elevated privileges (administrator) command prompt on an NTFS filesystem due to the use of symlinks. Press WIN-X and click on "Command Prompt (Admin)" to launch an elevated command prompt.
+* A PHP CLI binary in your path
+* Command line Git executables
+* Phing
+
+You will also need the following path structure inside a folder on your system
+
+* **contactus** This repository
+* **buildfiles** [Akeeba Build Tools](https://github.com/akeeba/buildfiles)
+* **fof3** [Framework on Framework 3.x](https://github.com/akeeba/fof)
+
+You will need to use the exact folder names specified here.
+
+### Useful Phing tasks
+
+All of the following commands are to be run from the MAIN/build directory.
+Lines starting with $ indicate a Mac OS X / Linux / other *NIX system commands.
+Lines starting with > indicate Windows commands. The starting character ($ or >)
+MUST NOT be typed!
+
+#### Creating a dev release installation package
+
+This creates the installable ZIP packages of the component inside the
+MAIN/release directory.
+
+    $ phing git
+    > phing git
+    
+**WARNING** Do not distribute the dev releases to your clients. Dev releases, unlike regular releases, also use a
+dev version of FOF 3.
