Fixing up projects PR image

Issue #77 invalid
Rok Andrée created an issue

Hi!

I discovered the project a while ago ... but I found the github repo, that has no activity and as such looks like the project is dead, so I ignored it. When I found bitbucket repo I discovered an amazing project with a lot of great work already done, but I hope you will not fault me for suggesting some quick and easy PR fixes that could make this project a lot more popular and as such attract additional help (a LOT of people loved Cesar III).

  • Setup automatic updating of github repo ... or delete it entirely
  • Redirect of the opencaesar3.org domain should redirect here, not github
  • Cleanup the Readme, so it includes
    • Explanation of the project + link to screen shots
    • Link to install insturctions for "testers". Possibly automate building and link the latest build for windows & linux
    • Explain how and where to help
    • IRC? Mailinglist
    • Move changelog to seperate file and link it
  • While I'm sure it's easier for you to write issues in Russian, it alienates the rest of the population - not just the US, but everybody else as well as everybody is used to coding in english.

Anyway, hope this did not sound patronizing, but I really want to see this project succeed and grow to be something like OpenTTD or Unknown Horizons.
