+TaskChampion
+------------
+
+TaskChampion is an open-source personal task-tracking application.
+Use it to keep track of what you need to do, with a quick command-line interface and flexible sorting and filtering.
+It is modeled on [TaskWarrior](https://taskwarrior.org), but not a drop-in replacement for that application.
+
+## Goals
+
+ * Feature parity with TaskWarrior (but not compatibility)
+ * Aproachable, maintainable codebase
+ * Active development community
+ * Reasonable privacy: user's task details not visible on server
+ * Reliable concurrency - clients do not diverge
+ * Storage performance O(n) with n number of tasks
+
+## Structure
+
+There are three crates here:
+
+ * [taskchampion](./taskchampion) - the core of the tool
+ * [taskchampion-cli](./cli) - the command-line binary
+ * [taskchampion-sync-server](./sync-server) - the server against which `task sync` operates
+
+## See Also
+
+ * [Documentation](docs/src/SUMMARY.md) (will be published as an mdbook eventually)
+ * [Progress on the first version](https://github.com/djmitche/taskwarrior-rust/projects/1)
