+== Introduction and Overview
+
+Welcome to the Altus Metrum community!  Our circuits and software reflect
+our passion for both hobby rocketry and Free Software.  We hope their
+capabilities and performance will delight you in every way, but by
+releasing all of our hardware and software designs under open licenses,
+we also hope to empower you to take as active a role in our collective
+future as you wish!
+
+Thank you for your interest in EasyMotor, an in-flight motor data collection
+board for hobby rockets.  EasyMotor is a small circuit board that is meant
+to log motor chamber pressure and rocket acceleration during flight.  With
+this data it's possible to determine whether a research motor is performing 
+as expected.  With additional information about masses and airframe drag, 
+it is even possible to closely estimate complete motor performance.
+
+With EasyMotor, the dilemma of "do I burn this on a test stand to learn more 
+about how it actually works, or do I go fly it" is no more!  You can fly your
+motor and get real performance data about it too!
+
+Because documentation is just as prone as software to contain "bugs", and
+can always be improved...  If you have questions that aren't answered in this 
+manual, or just need a little help figuring things out, we strongly suggest 
+joining the Altus Metrum user email list, which you can do by visiting 
+https://lists.gag.com/mailman/listinfo/altusmetrum.
