+Overview
+--------
+
+ZDB is an object database system that emphasizes semantics (naturally
+representing things).
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+- [Scala Commons] 0.1
+
+[Scala Commons]: http://assorted.sf.net/scala-commons/
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+To build, run:
+
+ ./run.bash build
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+ ./run.bash file
+
+runs `zdb.FileIo`, which just loads the DB and dumps the name of every object
+to stdout.
+
+ ./run.bash web
+
+runs `zdb.WebUi`, which loads the DB and starts an HTTP server listening on
+port 8888. This serves a bookmarklet page at `http://localhost:8888/` for
+adding new objects that are bookmarks.
+
+Misc
+----
+
+I think the next step is to build a UI so that I can use this thing. UIs have
+to be ultra-easy to build, though, since there are going to be so many
+different views over ZDB. The first one to build should be a generic data
+maneger/explorer, which I barely started writing in `explorer.lzx`.
+
+I'll also provide a sample DB (my own) at some point.
