+# Overview
+
+Describe the intended usage of this charm and anything unique about how this
+charm relates to others here.
+
+This README will be displayed in the Charm Store, it should be either Markdown
+or RST. Ideal READMEs include instructions on how to use the charm, expected
+usage, and charm features that your audience might be interested in. For an
+example of a well written README check out Hadoop:
+http://jujucharms.com/charms/precise/hadoop
+
+Use this as a Markdown reference if you need help with the formatting of this
+README: http://askubuntu.com/editing-help
+
+This charm provides [service][]. Add a description here of what the service
+itself actually does.
+
+Also remember to check the [icon guidelines][] so that your charm looks good
+in the Juju GUI.
+
+# Usage
+
+Step by step instructions on using the charm:
+
+juju deploy servicename
+
+and so on. If you're providing a web service or something that the end user
+needs to go to, tell them here, especially if you're deploying a service that
+might listen to a non-default port.
+
+You can then browse to http://ip-address to configure the service.
+
+## Scale out Usage
+
+If the charm has any recommendations for running at scale, outline them in
+examples here. For example if you have a memcached relation that improves
+performance, mention it here.
+
+## Known Limitations and Issues
+
+This not only helps users but gives people a place to start if they want to help
+you add features to your charm.
+
+# Configuration
+
+The configuration options will be listed on the charm store, however If you're
+making assumptions or opinionated decisions in the charm (like setting a default
+administrator password), you should detail that here so the user knows how to
+change it immediately, etc.
+
+# Contact Information
+
+Though this will be listed in the charm store itself don't assume a user will
+know that, so include that information here:
+
+## Upstream Project Name

+# Overview
+
+This is the base layer for all charms [built using layers][building].  It
+provides all of the standard Juju hooks and runs the
+[charms.reactive.main][charms.reactive] loop for them.  It also bootstraps the
+[charm-helpers][] and [charms.reactive][] libraries and all of their
+dependencies for use by the charm.
+
+# Usage
+
+To create a charm layer using this base layer, you need only include it in
+a `layer.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+includes: ['layer:basic']
+```
+
+This will fetch this layer from [interfaces.juju.solutions][] and incorporate
+it into your charm layer.  You can then add handlers under the `reactive/`
+directory.  Note that **any** file under `reactive/` will be expected to
+contain handlers, whether as Python decorated functions or [executables][non-python]
+using the [external handler protocol][].
+
+### Charm Dependencies
+
+Each layer can include a `wheelhouse.txt` file with Python requirement lines.
+For example, this layer's `wheelhouse.txt` includes:
+
+```
+pip>=7.0.0,<8.0.0
+charmhelpers>=0.4.0,<1.0.0
+charms.reactive>=0.1.0,<2.0.0
+```
+
+All of these dependencies from each layer will be fetched (and updated) at build
+time and will be automatically installed by this base layer before any reactive
+handlers are run.
+
+Note that the `wheelhouse.txt` file is intended for **charm** dependencies only.
+That is, for libraries that the charm code itself needs to do its job of deploying
+and configuring the payload.  If the payload itself has Python dependencies, those
+should be handled separately, by the charm.
+
+See [PyPI][pypi charms.X] for packages under the `charms.` namespace which might
+be useful for your charm.
+
+### Layer Namespace
+
+Each layer has a reserved section in the `charms.layer.` Python package namespace,
+which it can populate by including a `lib/charms/layer/<layer-name>.py` file or
+by placing files under `lib/charms/layer/<layer-name>/`.  (If the layer name
+includes hyphens, replace them with underscores.)  These can be helpers that the
+layer uses internally, or it can expose classes or functions to be used by other
+layers to interact with that layer.
+
+For example, a layer named `foo` could include a `lib/charms/layer/foo.py` file
+with some helper functions that other layers could access using:
+
+```python
+from charms.layer.foo import my_helper
+```
+
+### Layer Options
+
+Any layer can define options in its `layer.yaml`.  Those options can then be set
+by other layers to change the behavior of your layer.  The options are defined
+using [jsonschema][], which is the same way that [action paramters][] are defined.
+
+For example, the `foo` layer could include the following option definitons:
+
+```yaml
+includes: ['layer:basic']
+defines:  # define some options for this layer (the layer "foo")
+  enable-bar:  # define an "enable-bar" option for this layer
+    description: If true, enable support for "bar".
+    type: boolean
+    default: false
+```
+
+A layer using `foo` could then set it:
+
+```yaml
+includes: ['layer:foo']
+options:
+  foo:  # setting options for the "foo" layer
+    enable-bar: true  # set the "enable-bar" option to true
+```
+
+The `foo` layer can then use the `charms.layer.options` helper to load the values
+for the options that it defined.  For example:
+
+```python
+from charms import layer
+
+@when('state')
+def do_thing():
+  layer_opts = layer.options('foo')  # load all of the options for the "foo" layer
+  if layer_opts['enable-bar']:  # check the value of the "enable-bar" option
+      hookenv.log("Bar is enabled")
+```
+
+You can also access layer options in other handlers, such as Bash, using
+the command-line interface:
+
+```bash
+. charms.reactive.sh
+
+@when 'state'
+function do_thing() {
+    if layer_option foo enable-bar; then
+        juju-log "Bar is enabled"
+        juju-log "bar-value is: $(layer_option foo bar-value)"
+    fi
+}
+
+reactive_handler_main
+```
+
+Note that options of type `boolean` will set the exit code, while other types
+will be printed out.
+
+# Hooks
+
+This layer provides hooks that other layers can react to using the decorators
+of the [charms.reactive][] library:
+
+  * `config-changed`
+  * `install`
+  * `leader-elected`
+  * `leader-settings-changed`
+  * `start`
+  * `stop`
+  * `upgrade-charm`
+  * `update-status`
+
+Other hooks are not implemented at this time. A new layer can implement storage
+or relation hooks in their own layer by putting them in the `hooks` directory.
+
+**Note:** Because `update-status` is invoked every 5 minutes, you should take
+care to ensure that your reactive handlers only invoke expensive operations
+when absolutely necessary.  It is recommended that you use helpers like
+[`@only_once`][], [`@when_file_changed`][], and [`data_changed`][] to ensure
+that handlers run only when necessary.
+
+# Layer Configuration
+
+This layer supports the following options, which can be set in `layer.yaml`:
+
+  * **packages**  A list of system packages to be installed before the reactive
+    handlers are invoked.
+
+  * **use_venv**  If set to true, the charm dependencies from the various
+    layers' `wheelhouse.txt` files will be installed in a Python virtualenv
+    located at `$CHARM_DIR/../.venv`.  This keeps charm dependencies from
+    conflicting with payload dependencies, but you must take care to preserve
+    the environment and interpreter if using `execl` or `subprocess`.
+
+  * **include_system_packages**  If set to true and using a venv, include
+    the `--system-site-packages` options to make system Python libraries
+    visible within the venv.
+
+An example `layer.yaml` using these options might be:
+
+```yaml
+includes: ['layer:basic']
+options:
+  basic:
+    packages: ['git']
+    use_venv: true
+    include_system_packages: true
+```
+
+
+# Reactive States
+
+This layer will set the following states:
+
+  * **`config.changed`**  Any config option has changed from its previous value.
+    This state is cleared automatically at the end of each hook invocation.
+
+  * **`config.changed.<option>`** A specific config option has changed.
+    **`<option>`** will be replaced by the config option name from `config.yaml`.
+    This state is cleared automatically at the end of each hook invocation.
+
+  * **`config.set.<option>`** A specific config option has a True or non-empty
+    value set.  **`<option>`** will be replaced by the config option name from
+    `config.yaml`.  This state is cleared automatically at the end of each hook
+    invocation.
+
+  * **`config.default.<option>`** A specific config option is set to its
+    default value.  **`<option>`** will be replaced by the config option name
+    from `config.yaml`.  This state is cleared automatically at the end of
+    each hook invocation.
+
+An example using the config states would be:
+
+```python
+@when('config.changed.my-opt')
+def my_opt_changed():
+    update_config()
+    restart_service()
+```
+
+
+# Actions
+
+This layer currently does not define any actions.

+execd/preinstall
+
+It is often necessary to configure and reconfigure machines
+after provisioning, but before attempting to run the charm.
+Common examples are specialized network configuration, enabling
+of custom hardware, non-standard disk partitioning and filesystems,
+adding secrets and keys required for using a secured network.
+
+The reactive framework's base layer invokes this mechanism as
+early as possible, before any network access is made or dependencies
+unpacked or non-standard modules imported (including the charms.reactive
+framework itself).
+
+Operators needing to use this functionality may branch a charm and
+create an exec.d directory in it. The exec.d directory in turn contains
+one or more subdirectories, each of which contains an executable called
+charm-pre-install and any other required resources. The charm-pre-install
+executables are run, and if successful, state saved so they will not be
+run again.
+
+    $CHARM_DIR/exec.d/mynamespace/charm-pre-install
+
+An alternative to branching a charm is to compose a new charm that contains
+the exec.d directory, using the original charm as a layer,
+
+A charm author could also abuse this mechanism to modify the charm
+environment in unusual ways, but for most purposes it is saner to use
+charmhelpers.core.hookenv.atstart().
