 # offen
-The offen analytics software
+> The offen analytics software
+
+This repository contains all source code needed to build and run __offen__, both on the server as well as on the client.
+
+---
+
+Development of __offen__ has just started, so instructions are rare and things will stay highly volatile for quite some while.
+
+Guidelines for running and developing the Software will be added when it makes sense to do so. Feel free to open an issue if you have a question.
