 GAnarchy
 ========
 
-<!-- FIXME this README is crap -->
-GAnarchy is a Project Page Generator focused on giving forks of a project the same visibility as the original repo.
-More importantly, it's a tool to help fight against BDFLs and other forms of centralized project management.
+GAnarchy is a decentralized project hub. Additionally, it's an attempt to
+decentralize development: What if you could build a community around
+fragmentation? GAnarchy proposes a development model that is not centered
+around "sending patches".
 
-GAnarchy is a decentralized project hub with the goal of enabling "zero-ownership" projects.
+There are not and there never will be Pull Requests, Merge Requests or Email

-To generate the output pages:
+The following command generates the output pages in the "public" directory:
 
 ```
-ganarchy.py cron-target index > index.html
-ganarchy.py cron-target config > config.toml # if federation is desired
-ganarchy.py cron-target $PROJECT_COMMIT > project/$PROJECT_COMMIT/index.html # for each project
+python -m ganarchy run public
 ```
 
-It's recommended to use a wrapper script to generate the project pages. `ganarchy.py cron-target project-list` may be of use.
+You can change the directory by changing "public" to another name, e.g.:
+
+```
+python -m ganarchy run output
+```
+
+generates an "output" directory instead. You can then upload the result
