+usual files you might expect are not in the repository, but are generated at
+release time (e.g. Makefile.PL).
+
+Generally, **you do not need Dist::Zilla to contribute patches**.  You do need
+Dist::Zilla to create a tarball and/or install from the repository.  See below
+for guidance.
+
+### Acceptable contributions
+
+HTTP::Tiny is considered nearly feature-complete.  The only features likely to
+be added are those that improve compliance with RFC 2616.  If you have ideas
+for other features, please look at
+[HTTP::Tiny::UA](http://p3rl.org/HTTP::Tiny::UA/) and consider adding your
+feature there.
+
+Bug fixes and performance improvements that do not bloat the code will be
+considered for inclusion.

 ### Code style and tidying
 
-Please try to match any existing coding style.  If there is a `.perltidyrc`
-file, please install Perl::Tidy and use perltidy before submitting patches.

-If there is a `tidyall.ini` file, you can also install Code::TidyAll and run
-`tidyall` on a file or `tidyall -a` to tidy all files.
+Please try to match any existing coding style.
 
 ### Patching documentation
 
 Much of the documentation Pod is generated at release time.
-Depending on the distribution, some documentation may be written in a Pod
-dialect called WikiDoc. (See Pod::WikiDoc on CPAN.)
 
 If you would like to submit a documentation edit, please limit yourself to the
 documentation you see.
 
 If you see typos or documentation issues in the generated docs, please
 email or open a bug ticket instead of patching.
 
-### Learning Dist::Zilla
+### Installing from the repository

+If you want to install directly from the repository, you need to have
+Dist::Zilla installed (see below).  If this is a burden to you, I welcome
+patches against a CPAN tarball instead of the repository.

+Dist::Zilla is a very powerful authoring tool, optimized for maintaining a
+large number of distributions with a high degree of automation, but it has a
+large dependency chain, a bit of a learning curve and requires a number of
+author-specific plugins.
+
+To install it from CPAN, I recommend one of the following approaches for
+the quickest installation:
+
+    # using CPAN.pm, but bypassing non-functional pod tests
+    $ cpan TAP::Harness::Restricted
+    $ PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 HARNESS_CLASS=TAP::Harness::Restricted cpan Dist::Zilla
+
+    # using cpanm, bypassing *all* tests
+    $ cpanm -n Dist::Zilla
+
+In either case, it's probably going to take about 10 minutes.  Go for a walk,
+go get a cup of your favorite beverage, take a bathroom break, or whatever.
+When you get back, Dist::Zilla should be ready for you.
+
+Then you need to install any plugins specific to this distribution:
 
     $ cpan `dzil authordeps`
     $ dzil authordeps | cpanm
