 ====================
 GameRDK aims to create a simple, modular, easy to use, low overhead environment to quickly develop your own game's engine.  It focuses less on features for a specific genre, and instead focuses on making low-level features more easily accessible, so that you can create these genre-specific features yourself.
 
+GameRDK aims to be cross compatible, but as true cross compatibility is a dream rarely achieved, we are going to state a defined goal for our cross compatibility: Windows XP or later, Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) and Mac OS 10 or later.
+
 Features
 ====================
 The entire RDK is organized in a modular fashion, with most elements being entirely optional.  Modules can dynamically detect each other- to add or remove one, simple add or remove it from your project/solution.

-====================
+The entire RDK is organized in a modular fashion, with most elements being entirely optional.  Modules can dynamically detect each other- to add or remove one, simple add or remove it from your project/solution.
+
+GameRDK::Core is the only required module.  It contains core and configuration information, as well as functions for modules to cross-detect and support each other.
+
+GameRDK::Platform is a module that provides cross platform support for basic things like directory structure, creating windows, and similar.
+
+GameRDK::GLW is an OpenGL wrapper aimed at simplifying this finite-state machine into something more comfortable for OO programmers. Can be used with raw structure information, but it also dynamically detects and supports GRDK::GLTypes.
+
+GameRDK::GLTypes adds several helper classes such as Texture, Material, Light, Shape, etc to make passing information to GDRK::GLW much more comfortable.
+
+GameRDK::Audio is an interface module that makes interfacing with audio libraries simple.  There is a premade interface for the audio library Audiere (http://audiere.sourceforge.net/). Keep in mind that using this interface will require you accepting Audiere's license in addition to GameRDK's own terms.
+
+GameRDK::Input is a cross platform input module, supporting Keyboard, Mouse, and most gamepads.
+
+GameRDK::Font is an interface module that makes interfacing with font libraries simple.  There is a premade interface for the font library FreeType (http://freetype.sourceforge.net). Keep in mind that using this interface will require you accepting FreeType's license in addition to GameRDK's own terms.
+
+GameRDK::GUI is a GUI library that allows rapid development of common game GUIs.  It includes several widgets to get you started, and is easily extensible.
+
+GameRDK::Camera is a control library for the GLW camera object, providing several commonly used features for camera control.
+
+GameRDK::Mesh is a library for loading of various model formats and animation support.
+
+GameRDK::Physics is an interface module that makes interfacing with physics libraries simple.  There is a premade interface for the physics library Bullet (http://bulletphysics.org/).  Keep in mind that using this interface will require you accepting Bullet's license in addition to GameRDK's own terms.
+
+GameRDK::Character is a basic character control library that makes getting your game to a playable state a much simpler task.
+
+GameRDK::Terrain is a basic vertex terrain module that allows generation and manipulation of game world terrain.
+
+GameRDK::Multiplayer is a basic networking library that allows communication between client->client, client->server, or server->client.
+
+GameRDK::Network is a networking library that allows http file retrieval, http text import, and MySQL database access.
