-SQL files to create the databases can be found in the sql/create and
-sql/base directories.
-You need to run sql/create/create_mysql.sql 1st and then
-sql/base/auth_database.sql and sql/base/characters_database.sql
-You need to download world database from http://www.trinitycore.org/f/files/
-be sure you get the higher numbered database.
-When installing a core the 1st time you need to import also all the files at
-sql/updates/world directory.
-sql/updates/auth and sql/updates/characters databases only needs to be run
-when updating one existing server.
-To save time importing multiple files, you can use copy *.sql world_updates.sql
-under Windows or cat *.sql > world_updates under Linux.
-
-You need to update your core (recompile and overwrite binaries) when updating
-your database, usually you can't use one older core with a newer database or a
-newer core with an older database.
-When updating your core you also need to import the files at sql/updates/auth
-and sql/updates/characters along with the sql/updates/world files.
-You can't merge all the sql files on sql/updates into a single file, because
-they belong to 3 different databases and they don't use database name.

+
+It is completely open source; community involvement is highly encouraged.
+
+If you wish to contribute ideas or code please visit our site linked below or
+make pull requests to our [Github repository](https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore).
+
+For further information on the TrinityCore project, please visit our project
