-Downloads [`https://registry.faa.gov/database/ReleasableAircraft.zip`](https://registry.faa.gov/database/ReleasableAircraft.zip). Creates a daily GitHub Release at 06:00 UTC containing the unaltered `ReleasableAircraft.zip` and a derived CSV file with all data from FAA database since 2023-08-16. The FAA database updates daily at 05:30 UTC.
+# OpenAirframes.org
+
+OpenAirframes.org is an open-source, community-driven airframes database.
+
+The data includes:
+- Registration information from Civil Aviation Authorities (FAA)
+- Airline data (e.g., Air France)
+- Community contributions such as ownership details, military aircraft info, photos, and more
+
+---
+
+## For Users
+
+A daily release is created at **06:00 UTC** and includes:
+
+- **openairframes_community.csv**  
+  All community submissions
+
+- **openairframes_faa.csv**  
+  All [FAA registration data](https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/releasable_aircraft_download) from 2023-08-16 to present (~260 MB)
+
+- **openairframes_adsb.csv**  
+  Airframe information derived from ADS-B messages on the [ADSB.lol](https://www.adsb.lol/) network, from 2026-02-12 to present (will be from 2024-01-01 soon). The airframe information originates from [mictronics aircraft database](https://www.mictronics.de/aircraft-database/) (~5 MB).
+
+- **ReleasableAircraft_{date}.zip**  
+  A daily snapshot of the FAA database, which updates at **05:30 UTC**
+
+---
+
+## For Contributors
+
+Submit data via a [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/PlaneQuery/OpenAirframes/issues/new?template=community_submission.yaml) with your preferred attribution. Once approved, it will appear in the daily release. A leaderboard will be available in the future.
+All data is valuable. Examples include:
+- Celebrity ownership (with citations)
+- Photos
+- Internet capability
+- Military aircraft information
+- Unique facts (e.g., an airframe that crashed, performs aerobatics, etc.)
+
+Please try to follow the submission formatting guidelines. If you are struggling with them, that is fine—submit your data anyway and it will be formatted for you.
+
+---
+
+## For Developers
+All code, compute (GitHub Actions), and storage (releases) are in this GitHub repository Improvements are welcome. Potential features include:
+- Web UI for data
+- Web UI for contributors
+- Additional export formats in the daily release
+- Data fusion from multiple sources in the daily release
+- Automated airframe data connectors, including (but not limited to) civil aviation authorities and airline APIs
