 # Contribute
+Right now **Mercury** is in a heavy planning stage.
+If you would like to contribute code, please wait.
+If you would like to contribute ideas, however, we're open to suggestions!
+
+We're working using [lavender.software](https://lavender.software)'s self-hosted [Gitea](https://git.lavender.software/mercury), so head on over there for the eventual code!
+Additionally, this website is written using the [cobalt](https://cobalt-org.github.io) *static site generator*, and you can find it's source [there](https://git.lavender.software/mercury/mercury-site) as well.
+
+## Rules & Regulations
+The [docs](https://git.lavender.software/mercury/docs) repository will eventually contain documents such as a **Code of Conduct**, **Contributor Agreement**, **Code Practices**, etc.
+You need to follow all of these to contribute code.

 ## About
-Misc. about the project stuff here.
-Link to [design](/design/) and stuff.
+**Mercury** is going to be an Operating System with a radically unique and new design.
+This includes being based around new ideas and features, sacrificing backwards compatibility for them.
 
+## Main Features
+- Written in **Rust**[^rust]
+- Built mainly for **ARM**/**RISC-V** architecture
+- Not **POSIX** compatible
+- **OCAP**[^ocap] security, with an **Actor** based system
+- Well documented using [rustdoc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc) and [mdBook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/)
+- **Microkernel**[^microkernel] with features being split into different `crates` & `libraries`
+- Full **UTF-8** support, because it's *2023*
+- Easy global configuration, **NixOS**/**Guix** style[^home]
+- Build with [security](/security/) in mind from the start
+- **Vulkan** rendering
+- `serde` for serializing data into/from different formats
+    - Allows for easy message passing
+    - Store/read data in `bytes` easily
+    - Can use anything supported by `serde` for configuration
+- [Comprehensive Testing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hXNd6x9sZs) with [Automated Tests](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch11-00-testing.html) and [Fuzzing](https://lib.rs/crates/cargo-fuzz)
+
+### GUI
+- Using the same **Actor** system
+- Accessibility as a priority
+- Global styling & configuration
+- Responsive and dynamic
+- Full multimedia support
+- Navigable fully by both mouse & keyboard
+
+[^rust]: **Why?** Because I like writing in it, and it's memory safe
