kiwmi/README.md
RubbaBoy 6bb8e9c254 Replaced README and CONTRIBUTING files
The previous README and CONTRIBUTING were both text, the readme being non-intriguing with nothing to really hook a user looking at the project. This doesn't need to be accepted, however I'd recommend using it as a reference or similar for a future rework of the readme. HTML can also be used if you don't want to use Markdown.

kiwmi is a work-in-progress extensive user-configurable Wayland Compositor. kiwmi specifically does not enforce any logic, allowing for the creation of Lua-scripted behaviors, allowing for arduous tasks such as modal window management become a breeze. New users should be aware of the steep learning curve present, however this will be reduced as the project matures.
