-### What are the shortcomings of this project?
+### Users
+
+Elftoolchain code is usually imported by operating system projects into their respective source trees.  Operating system projects known to be using Elftoolchain code include:
+
+* [FreeBSD](https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/elftoolchain/)
+* [NetBSD](http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/external/bsd/elftoolchain/)
+* [OpenBSD](https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/lib/libelf)
+* [RTEMS](https://devel.rtems.org/browser/rtems-tools/rtemstoolkit/elftoolchain/libelf)
+
+### Caveats

   * Our code is relatively new, it has not seen the level of adoption that the GNU binutils code base has. 
   * Our code base only deals with ELF objects; other object file formats are not well supported. 
   * Our development team is small, comprising of volunteers. 

-### How do I help?
+### How to help

   * Please join the [mailing list](http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=elftoolchain-developers); let us know how you are using our code and how your experience has been. 
   * Please review our code and documentation; [let us know](http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/elftoolchain/newticket) if you find a bug.

 This project provides tools for program development. Notably: 

-  * Our code is structured as a set of tools written using a set of well-documented libraries. This approach comes in useful when custom tools for manipulating ELF programs and shared libraries are desired.
