+**Welcome to my personal code and project monorepo archive!**
+
+It contains most projects I work on in my own time, including the
+tools to host and manage this collection of projects.  Projects that
+are deemed note-worthy enough have their own project pages.  When
+browsing the file hierarchy, you will be notified about these project
+pages, but not immediately taken to them.
+
+
+## Structure
+
+The root of the project contains a list of directories, each for one
+project.  The git history of this repository might be very non-linear,
+considering that it was created by merging multiple earlier
+repositories in via sub-trees.
+
+You can also get a per-project history, by cloning only a sub-tree of
+this repo, or by looking at the log page on a project.
+
+
+## Self hosted
+
+The software that is hosting this code archive is called [`octopus`]()
+and included in this repository.
