+Most pony images are browser ponies or desktop ponies, browser ponies is a port of
+desktop ponies, implementing it in JavaScript. Browser ponies are available at
+@url{https://github.com/panzi/Browser-Ponies}. Desktop ponies are available at
+@url{http://desktop-pony-team.deviantart.com/}.
+
+There is also a collection of ponies that are not yet pixelated in a Java reimplementation:
+@url{https://github.com/maandree/unisay/tree/develop/dev/newponies}
+@*
+
+New ponies can be created from regular images by using util-say, which is available
+at @url{https://github.com/maandree/util-say}.
+@command{img2xterm} (@url{https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm}) was used earlier,
+but util-say tries do optimise the images in some aspects: as good as possible for
+low capability terminals, tries to place the pony–balloon link, displayed as good as
+possible when marked in the terminal (somewhat compromised by the first aspect.)
+      
+Using util-say:
+@example
+img2ponysay -2 -- SOURCE_IMAGE > PONY_FILE
+
+PONY_FILE should end with .pony and be localed in ponies/
+
+Omit -2 if the source image does not use double pixel size.

+@cindex ttypony
+When a pony is added please also add a ttypony version, i.e. the pony files used in TTY,
+but if you don't please state so in the pull request so we do not miss the create it;
+the simplest way to do this is to run @command{make -B ttyponies} after adding the ponies
+to @code{ponies/}, running @command{make -B ttyponies} will build (or rebuild) all
+ttyponies with a pony present in @code{ponies/}, and creates all needed symlinks.
+
+To be able to run @command{make -B ttyponies} you must have the packages listed under
+@ref{Dependencies for pony providers}.
