 # BOS
 BOS (Bugema Operating System) the internet OS! Free, Open Source, Self hostable
+
+## Overview
+BOS (Bugema Operating System) is an open-source project that aims to make self-hosted
+web services feel more like an “operating system” for everyday internet usage.
+
+## Getting Started
+At the moment, this repository primarily contains documentation (see `LICENSE` and this
+README). A common next step for contributors is to:
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+2. Create a documentation-focused branch (for example: `docs/add-overview`).
+3. Add missing sections such as installation/setup instructions, architecture notes,
+   and contribution guidelines.
+
+If you add real installation or deployment steps later, please also update this section
+to reflect the new workflow.
