+# Unified XUL Platform (UXP)
+
+This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
+applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
+with an ESR-52 fork point.
+
+In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
+selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
+own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
+applications.
+
+This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
+of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
+

+This repository has been founded and is maintained by Moonchild (M.C. Straver).
+If you fork this repository to perform your own work on it, please consider
+offering improvement patches upstream to its origin to mutually improve the
+platform and build a future for XUL.
