 > [!WARNING]
-> Releases Speckle.Sdk and Speckle.Objects are reliable for production use, but the APIs may not be wholly stable, and there may be breaking changes between releases, with little documentation.
+> This is an early beta release, not meant for use in production! We're working to stabilise the 3.0 API, and until then there will be breaking changes. You have been warned!

 ### Building
 
-Ensure you're using a [8.0.4xx](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0) .NET SDK. 
-After cloning this repository, just restore all the NuGet packages and hit Build!
+Make sure you clone this repository together with its submodules: `git clone https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sharp-sdk.git -recursive`.
+Afterwards, just restore all the NuGet packages and hit Build!
 
 ### Developing
 
-It is highly recommended you use
- - Either Jetbrains Rider or Visual Studio 2022
- - Ensure your IDE is set to use [the correct .NET SDK version](https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sharp-sdk/blob/main/global.json) (newer major versions may work, but may incorrectly run analysers we haven't configured)
- - You should install the cshapier plugin ([Rider](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/18243-csharpier), [VS](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=csharpier.CSharpier)) and configure it to run on save
+This project is evolving fast, to better understand how to use Core we suggest checking out the Unit and Integration tests. Running the integration tests locally requires a local server running on your computer.
 
-Docs are a bit patchy [https://docs.speckle.systems/developers/looking-for-developer-docs](https://docs.speckle.systems/developers/looking-for-developer-docs)
+We'll be also adding [preliminary documentation on our forum](https://discourse.speckle.works/c/speckle-insider/10).
 
 ### Tests
 
-There are several test projects. It is a requirement that all tests pass for PRs to be merged.
-The Integration test projects require a local server to be running.
-
-You must have docker installed. Then you can run `docker compose up --wait` from the root of the repo to start the required containers.
+There are two test projects, one for unit tests and one for integration tests. The latter needs a server running locally in order to run.
