Added Sphinx (reST-style) conversion of Evennia documentation to docs/. This is an auto-generated conversion directly from the Wiki, so it's not custom-written in any way (will also make it easy to update). You need Sphinx to compile the sources into fancy pages. Supporting sphinx is to make documentation easier to print and view offline. Currently no sphinx src-code viewing is activated by default, it gives too many spurious errors (the converters are in the repo though if you're interested in experimenting). So for offline autodocs, doxygen is still to recommend.

+Getting and giving Evennia-help
+
+How to *get* Help
+=================
+
+If you cannot find what you are looking for in the `online
+documentation <Index.html>`_, here's what to do:
+
+-  If you have trouble with a missing feature or a problem you think is
+   a bug, go to the `issue
+   tracker <http://code.google.com/p/evennia/issues/list>`_. If you
+   can't find the issue already reported, file a new one by filling in
+   the handy form.
+-  If you need help, want to start a discussion or get input on
+   something, make a post in our `forum <http://evennia.com>`_. This is
+   technically a 'mailing list', but you don't need to use e-mail; you
+   can post and read all messages just as easily from your browser via
+   the online interface.
+-  If you want more direct discussions with developers and other users,
+   consider dropping into our IRC chat channel
+   "http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels
+   evennia">#evennia on the *Freenode* network. Please note however that
+   you have to be patient if you don't get any response immediately; we
+   are all in very different time zones and many have busy personal
+   lives. So you might have to lurk about for a while - you'll get
+   noticed eventually!
+
+How to *give* Help
+==================
+
+Evennia is a completely non-funded project. It relies on the time
+donated by its users and developers in order to progress.
+
+The first and easiest way you as a user can help us out is by taking
+part in `community
+discussions <http://groups.google.com/group/evennia/>`_ and by giving
+feedback on what is good or bad. Report bugs you find and features you
+lack to our `issue
+tracker <http://code.google.com/p/evennia/issues/list>`_. Just the
+simple act of letting developers know you are out there using their
+program is worth a lot.
+
+If you'd like to help develop Evennia more hands-on, here are some ways
+to get going:
+
+-  Look through our `online documentation wiki <Index.html>`_ and see if
+   you can help improve or expand the documentation (even small things
+   like fixing typos!).
+-  Send a message to our
+   `forum <http://groups.google.com/group/evennia/>`_ and/or our
+   "http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels
+   evennia">IRC chat asking about what needs doing, along with what your
+   interests and skills are.
+-  Take a look at our `issue
+   tracker <http://code.google.com/p/evennia/issues/list>`_ and see if
+   there's something you feel like taking on.
+-  Check out the `Contributing <Contributing.html>`_ page on how to
+   contribute with code in practice.
+
+In either case, you may find documentation useful to developers in the
+`Developer Central <DeveloperCentral.html>`_.
