+We are happy to announce our new [Open Collective][oc] page for the Vega Strike Project.
+
+This page will allow us, and the members of the community, to financially back the project, thus allowing to it to move forward with more ease.
+Your support will pay for infrastructure (such as this website) and for benefits to our community (such as events and meet-ups).
+Making monthly or one-time donations will land you a spot permanently in the Backer/Sponsors on our website and on our GitHub page.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+But this is not the only way you might be able to contribute to our project. We are nearing our next serious release - version 0.6.0, and we'll need a lot of help from the community. Currently we need help in the following areas:
+
+- Testers to test the game on as many platforms at possible.
+- Content creators to further improve and enrich our game (music, art, 3D models).
+- Story tellers to think of and create missions in the game.
+- Technical writers to improve and enrich our documentation.
+- Packagers to ease the redistribution of the game across different platforms and redistributions.
+- And, last but not least, we need developers to help fix bugs and create new features in the game.
+
+If you're willing to contribute, but you haven't found something on the list that talks to you or fits your skills, don't worry!
+There are many more tasks to do in the community, so if you have any questions or suggestions,
+feel free to get in touch with us on our [Gitter channel][gitter], [Forums][fr] or open a [new issue][gh] on Github.
+
+For information about contributing, you may go to the contributing page on [Github][contrib].
+
+Waiting to hear from you,  
+NaBaCo.
