-# Emacs X Window Manager
-
-EXWM (Emacs X Window Manager) is a full-featured tiling X window manager
-for Emacs built on top of [XELB](https://github.com/ch11ng/xelb).
-It features:
-+ Fully keyboard-driven operations
-+ Hybrid layout modes (tiling & stacking)
-+ Dynamic workspace support
-+ ICCCM/EWMH compliance
-+ (Optional) RandR (multi-monitor) support
-+ (Optional) Builtin system tray
-+ (Optional) Builtin input method
-
-Please check out the
-[screenshots](https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki/Screenshots)
-to get an overview of what EXWM is capable of,
-and the [user guide](https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/wiki)
-for a detailed explanation of its usage.
-
-**Note**: If you install EXWM from source, it's recommended to install
-XELB also from source (otherwise install both from GNU ELPA).

+[![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/016bff4b8ae2704a3bbbb0a250784e6692007c582983b6dea7.svg?branch=refs/heads/canon)](https://buildkite.com/tvl/depot)
+
+This repository is the [monorepo][] for the community around [The
+Virus Lounge][tvl], containing our personal tools and infrastructure.
+Everything in here is built using [Nix][].
+
+A large portion of the software here is very self-referential, meaning that it
+exists to sustain the operation of the repository. This is the case because we
+partially see this as [an experiment][] in tooling for monorepos.
+
+# Highlights
+
+## Services
+
+* Source code is available primarily through Sourcegraph on
+  [cs.tvl.fyi](https://cs.tvl.fyi), where it is searchable and even semantically
+  indexed. A lower-tech view of the repository is also available via cgit-pink
+  on [code.tvl.fyi](https://code.tvl.fyi).
+
+  The repository can be cloned using `git` from `https://cl.tvl.fyi/depot`.
+
+* All code in the depot, with the exception of code that is checked in to
+  individual `//users` folders, needs to be reviewed. We use Gerrit on
+  [cl.tvl.fyi](https://cl.tvl.fyi) for this.
+
+* Issues are tracked via our own issue tracker on
+  [b.tvl.fyi](https://b.tvl.fyi). Its source code lives at
+  [`//web/panettone/`][panettone].
+
+* Smaller todo-list entries which do not warrant a separate issue are listed at
+  [todo.tvl.fyi](https://todo.tvl.fyi).
+
+* We use Buildkite for CI. Recent builds are listed on
+  [tvl.fyi/builds](https://tvl.fyi/builds) and pipelines are configured
+  dynamically via
+  [`//ops/pipelines`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/tree/ops/pipelines).
+
+* A search service that makes TVL services available via textual
+  shortcuts is available: [atward](https://at.tvl.fyi)
+
+All services that we host are deployed on NixOS machines that we manage. Their
+configuration is tracked in `//ops/{modules,machines}`.
+
+## Nix
+
+* [`//nix/readTree`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/blob/nix/readTree/README.md)
+  contains the Nix code which automatically registers projects in our Nix
+  attribute hierarchy based on their in-tree location
+* [`//tools/nixery`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/tree/tools/nixery)
+  contains the source code of [Nixery][], a container registry that
+  can build images ad-hoc from Nix packages
+* `//nix/yants` contains **Y**et **A**nother **N**ix **T**ype **S**ystem, which
+  we use for a variety of things throughout the repository
+* `//nix/buildGo` implements a Nix library that can build Go software in the
+  style of Bazel's `rules_go`. Go programs in this repository are built using
+  this library.
+* `//nix/buildLisp` implements a Nix library that can build Common Lisp
+  software. Currently only SBCL is supported. Lisp programs in this repository
+  are built using this library.
+* `//web/blog` and `//web/atom-feed`: A Nix-based static site generator which
+  generates the web page and Atom feed for [tazj.in](https://tazj.in)
+  (`//users/tazjin/homepage`) and [tvl.fyi](https://tvl.fyi) (`//web/tvl`)
+* `//web/bubblegum` contains a CGI-based web framework written in Nix.
+* `//nix/nint`: A shebang-compatible interpreter wrapper for Nix.
+* `//tvix` contains initial work towards a modular architecture for Nix.
+
+We have a variety of other tools and libraries in the `//nix` folder which may
+be of interest.
+
+## Packages / Libraries
+
+* `//net/alcoholic_jwt` contains an easy-to-use JWT-validation library for Rust
+* `//net/crimp` contains a high-level HTTP client using cURL for Rust
+* `//tools/emacs-pkgs` contains various useful Emacs libraries, for example:
+  * `dottime.el` provides [dottime][] in the Emacs modeline
+  * `nix-util.el` provides editing utilities for Nix files
+  * `term-switcher.el` is an ivy-function for switching between vterm buffers
+  * `tvl.el` provides helper functions for interacting with the TVL monorepo
+* `//lisp/klatre` provides a grab-bag utility library for Common Lisp
+
+## User packages
+
+Contributors to the repository have user directories under
+[`//users`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot@canon/-/tree/users), which can be used for
+personal or experimental code that does not require review.
+
+Some examples:
+
+* `//users/grfn/xanthous`: A (WIP) TUI RPG, written in Haskell.
+* `//users/tazjin/emacs`: tazjin's Emacs & EXWM configuration
+* `//users/tazjin/finito`: A persistent finite-state machine library for Rust.
