-  User configurable extensions for ~tel 
+# The 1900s
+
+The 1900s are a block of extensions on tilde.tel for subscribers to hack on, anyone can contribute whatever they'd like, the only caveat being that it can't infringe on any other ~tel user's good time so no Happy Dude antics.
+
+- Pick whatever extension you like within the 1901-1999 block
+- Add whatever you like to extensions-1900s.conf (it should be in the newer 1.8 extn/same format)
+- Add any sound files to /sounds/[extension]
+- Add any scripts or additional required files to /etc/[extension]
+
+Yell out if you need anything else. Let's party.
