+Libmraa is a C/C++ library with bindings to javascript & python to interface
+with the IO on Galileo, Edison & other platforms, with a structured and sane
+API where port names/numbering matches the board that you are on. Use of
+libmraa does not tie you to specific hardware with board detection done at
+runtime you can create portable code that will work across the supported
+platforms.
+
+The intent is to make it easier for developers and sensor manufacturers to map 
 their sensors & actuators on top of supported hardware and to allow control of
 low level communication protocol by high level languages & constructs.

+## DEBUGGING
 
-- Swig 3.0.1+ built with node.js & python support (0.10.x)
-- doxygen
-- sphinx (requires doxygen)
-- pygments
+Sometimes it just doesn't want to work, let us try and help you, you can file
+issues in github or join us in #mraa on freenode IRC, hang around for a little
+while because we're not necessarily on 24/7, but we'll get back to you! Have a
