+* Kookienomicon
+
+  This repository contains a wide variety of projects that I develop
+  in my free time, mostly for fun.  This directory contains
+  documentation for many of these projects, as well as the monorepo
+  itself.
+
+  Furthermore I will keep track of TODO lists and incidence logs on my
+  infrastructure (that don't contain any sensitive information) in
+  this directory tree as well.
+
+** Why a monorepo
+
+   I start a lot of projects in my free time.  I'm prone to having
+   ideas and only seeing them through half way, or starting many small
+   projects that each don't take up _that_ much time to create, but
+   then get forgotten about and never maintained again.
+
+   Creating a repository, CI jobs, documentation, etc for each of
+   these small projects started taking up a lot of effort on my part,
+   so creating a monorepo, to keep them all in a single place, started
+   as an attepmt to de-duplicate work for myself.
+
+   At the same time I like the idea of having a shared history of my
+   work and a single repository I can clone (or point people to) to
+   get a good picture of the work that I do outside of my day-job or
+   software research work.
