+# Gila v0.1.0 - a Rust Microkernel
+
+Gila is a Rust microkernel OS, inspired by the Xinu embedded OS. It will
+hopefully be capable of multitasking some day. I do not intend for Gila to
+be POSIX-like or compatible.
+
+## Work In Progress
+
+Gila does nothing at all right now. Check back later. Or contribute.
