+ ... catalog all the things!
+
+
+The [RFC](./rfc) is the original design document, and the best place to start
+for background.
+
+There will be three main components:
+
+- backend API server and database
+- front-end web interface (built on API)
+- client libraries and bots
+
+The API server was prototyped in python. "Real" implementation started in
+golang, but shifted to Rust, and is work-in-progress. The beginings of a client
+library and data ingesters exist in python (may or may not be re-written in
+Rust).
