+Welcome to the Klipper project!
+
+This project implements a 3d-printer firmware. There are two parts to
+this firmware - code that runs on a micro-controller and code that
+runs on a host machine. The host software does the work to build a
+schedule of events, while the micro-controller software does the work
+to execute the provided schedule at the specified times.
+
+Please see the [documentation](docs/Overview.md) for more information
+on running and working with Klipper.
