+This is the Nix server infrastructure for Quine Global. You will find it
+contains some Nginx configuration, some shell and terminal configuration,
+and system config.
+
+Of particular note is the web deployment system with Nginx. This is a
+homebrew system to easily deploy web applications. You can mount
+an application as a Docker container, or using pullomatic, a service
+that automatically pulls from Github every so often.
+
+There is some overlap between this repo's use for Quine and Philip Peterson's
+personal use. As such, there will be some reference to Philip Peterson's personal
+projects or usernames.
+
+The goal is to remove these references and have the repository
+be more of a single concern, which is to support QUINE's mission to **improve
+the world through open-source technology and environmental pollution research.**
+
+However, the research required to create this separation is still pending, so
+for now, the two concerns are mixed intentionally.
+
+If you are interested in Quine's mission, please open an issue. We'd love to
+hear from you!
