 kiwmi
 =====
 
-A fully programmable Waylnd Compositor.
+kiwmi is a Wayland compositor that is programmed by the user.
+This means that the sky is the limit:
+You can implement any tiling or floating logic you want; even stuff like modal window management becomes easy.
 
-NOTE: This whole project is a work in project, and is far from working.
+This means there is a steep entrance barrier, but in the future there will be base configurations to start with.
 
-Concepts
---------
+NOTE: This whole project is a work in project, and not usable yet.
 
-kiwmi is cool and all, because it doesn't enforce any logic itself.
-This means that the user can easily (via some Lua scripting) create their own behaviors, and can do anything they wish!
-Of course this means that there is a steep curve to get into it, but for some people it might be worth it.
+Installation
+------------
 
-In the future there might be a base to base your stuff on, but at the moment this doesn't even work.
+Make sure all dependencies are installed.

+Run:

+Install with:
+
+  # ninja -C build install
