+<h1>How can I help?</h1>
+<p>You can contribute in multiple ways:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>If you have a bit of time and have at least a bit of <b>artistic talent</b> and <b>computer graphics skill</b>,
+        I currently need the following:
+        <ol>
+            <li>PNG icons of all cultures on transparent background with the height of exactly 16 pixels
+                (width can vary) for the deck-builder filtering.
+            </li>
+            <li>Wound and burden tokens in PNG format on transparent background
+                with dimensions of 100x100 (or so, doesn't have to be square dimensions).
+            </li>
+            <li>Culture tokens - same requirements as above for wound and burden tokens. This is a low priority
+                request.
+            </li>
+            <li>Icons in PNG format on transparent background that will be used on the game screen to show
+                deck/hand/discard/dead pile counts. The number of cards in each will be written on top of the image.
+            </li>
+            <li>Modify the existing images for the cards in the sets that are already implemented and have an errata
+                issued, to reflect the errata.
+            </li>
+            <li>Any other graphics you think might improve the look of the user interface.</li>
+        </ol>
+    </li>
+    <li>I need help with <b>hosting of the server</b> (at the moment I use my home PC and host it from home). If I don't
+        find any, I will have to set it up on Amazon EC2 which is quite expensive ($300 per year or so). If you can help
+        out with hosting of the server, here are the requirements:
+        <ol>
+            <li>Apache-Tomcat 6+ or any other Java Web Server</li>
+            <li>MySQL database</li>
+        </ol>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        If you know how to <b>program in Java</b> and have at least a bit of experience, you can help out with
+        implementation of the card sets. About 95% of cards in a set is just a matter of a few easy lines of code. The
+        only problem is, that this also takes a huge amount of time. Consider a small set with 120 cards, each card
+        taking 5 minutes to implement (easy - right?), it's still 10 hours.<br/>
+        If you wish to help out with that, I promise I will do the more difficult cards (like Return to Its Master).
+    </li>
+    <li>If you enjoy playing LotR and have <b>plenty of free time</b>, you may just test and report the problems.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you wish to help out, you can contact me on <a href="mailto:marcins78@gmail.com">marcins78@gmail.com</a> to
+    discuss.</p>
