+# The Black Star File System
 
+The Black Star File System (BSFS) is a semantic file system, meaning that it organizes files
+by association, and can record files, their metadata and content in a structured manner.
 
-### Developer tools setup
 
-#### Test coverage (coverage)

-$ coverage run ; coverage html ; xdg-open .htmlcov/index.html
