+My Simple wiki system
+=====================
+
+This project is an attempt to make the simplest wiki possible. It uses a proper
+version control system to avoid [the inner platform effect][inner-platform] and it does
+simple, stateless rendering of a basic markup language, [Wiki creole][creole].
+
+The hope is that this simplicity leads to composability and extensibility. In a
+way, these files represent my effort to understand and fully appreaciate [The
+Unix Philosophy™][unix-philosophy].
