-# Getting Started
+# Front Matter
+
+A python library for Juju.
+
+NOTE: This is early work-in-progress, pre-alpha software. There is very little
+implementation here yet. The design itself is not complete.  Comments on the
+design, good or bad, are welcomed. Use cases are also appreciated as they will
+shape the design.
+
+The goal is to end up with a feature-full and officially supported python
+library for Juju.
+
+The focus right now is on Juju 2+ only.
+
+# Design Notes
+
+* Require python3.5+ (async/await) and juju-2.0+
+* Auto-generate async (and sync? see below) websocket client from juju golang code
+* Present an object-oriented interface to all the features of the Juju CLI
+* Do as much as possible through the API so that the library can be used
+       without actually installing Juju
+
+# Implementation Status
+
+There is an async websocket client that is auto-generated (indirectly) from the
+juju golang code so that the entire api is supported. This is mostly working.
+There will probably a synchronous client as well because why not.
+
+On top of that will be an object-oriented layer that supports the full range of
+operations that one could perform with the CLI (at least), which uses the
+websocket client underneath but presents a friendlier interface. One advantage
+of using an async client is that we can have a live-updating object layer,
+where user code is informed of changes that are occurring to the underlying
+juju model in real time. There is an example of what this might look like in
+examples/livemodel.py.
+
+# Example Use Cases
+
+See the `examples/` directory for some simple working examples.
+
+## Simple bootstrap/deploy
 
 ```python

+This doesn't work yet! It's an example of what usage might
+look like in the future.
