 # COSMIC Settings
 
-The settings application for the [COSMIC desktop environment](https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch). Developed with [libcosmic](https://github.com/pop-os/libcosmic), using the [iced](https://iced.rs/) GUI library.
+The settings application for the [COSMIC desktop environment][cosmic-epoch].
 
-## Build & Install
+## Translators
 
-To compile, a stable Rust compiler and [just](https://github.com/casey/just) are required.
+Translation files may be found in the [i18n directory](./i18n). New translations may copy the [English (en) localization](./i18n/en) of the project and rename `en` to the desired [ISO 639-1 language code][iso-codes]. Translations may be submitted through GitHub as an issue or pull request. Submissions by email or other means are also acceptable; with the preferred name and email to associate with the changes.
 
-- cargo
-- just
-- mold
+## Build
 
-Some C libraries are also required for font support at the moment.
+### Dependencies
 
+- rust (>= 1.71.0)
+- [just][just]
 - cmake
 - libexpat1-dev
 - libfontconfig-dev
 - libfreetype-dev
 - pkg-config
 
-Then it can be compiled and installed like so.
+### Install
+
+COSMIC uses [just][just] as its preferred build tool.
 
 ```sh
 just
 sudo just install
 ```
 
-## Packagers
+### Packaging
 
-If packaging for a Linux distribution, vendor dependencies locally with the `vendor` rule, and build with the vendored sources using the `build-vendored` rule.

-## Translators
-
-Translation files may be found in the [i18n directory](./i18n). New translations may copy the [English (en) localization](./i18n/en) of the project and rename `en` to the desired [ISO 639-1 language code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes).

+It is recommended to build a source tarball with the vendored dependencies, which can typically be done by running `just vendor` on the host system before it enters the build environment. Reference [debian/rules](./debian/rules) to see how we generate debian packages with `sbuild`.
 
 ## Developers
 
+Developers should install [rustup][rustup] and configure their editor to use [rust-analyzer][rust-analyzer]. Run `just check` to ensure that the changes you make are free of linter warnings. You may configure your editor to run `just check-json` as the rust-analyzer check command.
+
+To improve compilation times, disable LTO in the release profile, install the [mold][mold] linker, and configure [sccache][sccache] for use with Rust. The [mold][mold] linker will only improve link times if LTO is disabled.
+
 Run the cosmic-settings binary with `just run` so that logs will be emitted to stderr, and crashes will generate detailed backtraces. Applications shouldn't crash, so when writing code, avoid use of `unwrap()` and `expect()`. Instead, log errors with `tracing::error!()` or `tracing::warn!()`.
 
-This project is split across the following workspace members:
-
-- [app](./app/): cosmic-settings GUI frontend and binary
-- [page](./page/): library for creating and handling settings pages
-- [pages](./pages/): libraries for page-specific logic
-
-When creating a new page, UI-specific code will go directly into **app**, and page-specific logic will go into a crate under the **pages** directory. This is mainly to isolate page-specific crate dependencies and logic from the UI; so that the source code specific to the UI is easier to maintain and refactor.
-
-Eventually, pages may be separated into plugins, and this will help with that migration.
