+# Choose a License Web Site
+
+Like a Choose Your Own Adventure site, but only much less interesting.
+
+# Intro
+
+A lot of repositories on GitHub.com don't have a license. GitHub could slap on 
+a license chooser, but if you don't know anything about licenses, how are you 
+supposed to make an informed decision.
+
+ChooseALicense.com is designed to help people make an informed decision about 
+licenses. 
+
+# Immediate Goals
+
+* Politics Free - Let's just not get into it.
+* Well designed, but that goes without saying.
+* The homepage should have just enough to help 99% of folks make a decision.
+* For the 1%, the site will contain a license chooser similar to 
+the [creative commons license chooser](http://creativecommons.org/choose/)
+
+# Design
+
+I think v1 of the site could be a completely static JavaScript site. No need 
+for a back end until we actually need it.
+
+# Community
+
+We plan to build out the skeleton of the site privately first, but then open 
+it up to accept contributions.
+
+Phil will look into whether various open source foundations and lawyers would 
+be interested in being involved. Probably makes good sense to have a lawyer 
+review the content before we post it live.
