-# jose
-A comprehensive set of JWT, JWS, and JWE libraries.
+JOSE
+============
+
+JOSE is a comprehensive set of JWT, JWS, and JWE libraries.
+
+## Why
+
+The only other JWS/JWE/JWT implementations are specific to JWT, and none
+were particularly pleasant to work with.
+
+These libraries should provide an easy, straightforward way to securely
+create, parse, and validate JWS, JWE, and JWTs.
+
+## Notes:
+JWE is currently unimplemented, but should be completed in a week.
+
+## Version 0.9:
+Currently not version 1.0 yet.
+
+The API will be 100% solidified with the 1.0 release and no API-breaking
+changes will be made without incrementing the major version number.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The docs can be found at [godoc.org] [docs], as usual.
