+# Issues
+
+## fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
+When running [quark](http://tools.suckless.org/quark/) (#6606994) on my system
+with `sudo ./quark -p 9763 -u <user> -g <group>` it dies with `./quark: fork:
+Resource temporarily unavailable` at `fork()`.
+
+# Github Users
+If you are visiting this repository on GitHub, you are on a mirror of
+https://git.friedl.net/playground/suckless-quark. This mirror is regularily
+updated with my other GitHub mirrors. In contrast to other projects I do not
+intend to move this tree to GitHub in the future. It is meant to stay a
+read-only mirror.
+
+You are welcome to pull any changes from this repository into your quark tree.
+If you want to contribute consider [contributing](http://suckless.org/hacking/)
+directly to [upstream](http://suckless.org/community/).
+
+If you still - for whichever reasons - want to contribute to my tree directly,
+feel free to send patches to dev[at]friedl[dot]net. Alternatviely you can issue
+a pull request on GitHub which will be cherry picked into my tree.
