+## MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
+
+MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more
+features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
+
+MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB corporation.
+Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation,
+and who is developing MariaDB.
+
+MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who
+now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by
+many people in the community.
+
+MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle
+Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors,
+see the Credits appendix.  You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a
+list of active contributors.
+
+A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

+https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
+
+https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/new-and-old-releases/
+
+https://mariadb.org/
+
+As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at
+http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
+

+
+Live QA for beginner contributors
+----
+MariaDB has a dedicated time each week when we answer new contributor questions live on Zulip and IRC.
+From 8:00 to 10:00 UTC on Mondays, and 10:00 to 12:00 UTC on Thursdays,
+anyone can ask any questions they’d like, and a live developer will be available to assist.
+
+New contributors can ask questions any time, but we will provide immediate feedback during that interval.
