-# index.py
+# index.py: Oldschool Web Development for Humans
+
+I miss the 'ol PHP/Apache days of throwing random files/folders on a web server.
+I want to try to bring that back to Python land (maybe).
+
+This is an experiment — it might not go very far.
+
+## The Concept
+
+- You can shove shit in a directory, and it'll just get served automatically.
+- Use flask (or any other WSGI framework) if you want to, no configuration needed.
+- No maintinence/deployment required to make changes — just make changes to the filesystem.
+
+The real end goal here is to have a Python application running at playground.kennethreitz.org on a
+digital ocean box that can be used to host all sorts of applications and random files for fun, just
+by managing the filesystem — like it was in the PHP days.
+
+## Basic Structure of a Deployment
+
+Subject to (vastly) change:
+
+    root/index.py <-- provides infrasctructure for whole application
+    root/sometoy/randofile <-- gets served
+    root/sometoy/index.py <-- gets run automatically for this path, could be Flask.
