Build Requirements
------------------
-Make sure you have at least 2GB memory to compile. This is enough for a git server, but 6GB is required to play using a git client.
+Make sure you have at least 2GB memory to compile. This is enough to run a git dedicated server, but 6GB is required to play using a git client (it uses more memory than regular release and auto builds).

+The git client will perform poorly (compared to regular release or auto builds) on GPUs with limited VRAM, such as integrated GPUs.
[About 12GB of disk space is required for the git repositories.](Git)
Contributing and Getting Write Access
-------------------------------------
-Cloning (one of) our repos and submitting MRs from there (as in any other project) works but you won't be able to use our CI setup for the data repo (which seems to need a custom runner). It's therefore a good idea to join the Xonotic group and get push access - then you can create branches in our repos and use our CI.
+It's recommended to [request access](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/index.html#request-access-to-a-group) to the [Xonotic project group](https://gitlab.com/xonotic). Cloning our repositories and submitting merge requests from there will work but you won't be able to use our CI setup for the xonotic-data.pk3dir repo (which seems to need a custom runner).
