 ## Introduction
 
-FRMS serves as both an internal framework for interacting with reactors as well as a scalable customer facing application.
-The project makes heavy use of low-cost yet powerful embedded systems capable of running full Linux distributions. 
-The [BeagleBone Black](https://beagleboard.org/black) is an example of the type of board used
+FRMS serves as both an internal framework for testing reactor designs as well as a scalable customer facing application for monitoring and control.
+The project makes heavy use of low-cost yet powerful embedded systems capable of running full Linux kernels. 
+Examples include the [BeagleBone Black](https://beagleboard.org/black) which was heavily used in development of FRMS as well as the popular [Raspberry Pi 4](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/).
+For more information about the hardware used in the reactors see [here](wiki/reactor.md#hardware).
+
+In its current state, FRMS is very bare bones and exists mostly as a proof of concept. 
+There are several routes to improving the software described in the [future work](wiki/future-work.md) section.
+To get started with FRMS see [here](#getting-started). 
+For further information about any of the technical information see [here](wiki/wiki.md).
+For any bugs/questions please file an issue [here](https://github.com/fl-src/FRMS/issues/new).
