+## Apache Open Climate Workbench
+
+Apache Open Climate Workbench is an effort to develop software that performs 
climate model evaluation using model outputs from a variety of different 
sources (the Earth System Grid Federation, the Coordinated Regional Downscaling 
Experiment, the U.S. National Climate Assessment and the North American 
Regional Climate Change Assessment Program) and temporal/spatial scales with 
remote sensing data from NASA, NOAA and other agencies. The toolkit includes 
capabilities for rebinning, metrics computation and visualization. For 
additional project information, please check the [project 
website](http://climate.apache.org/).
+
+## Getting Started
+
+The [project's wiki](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/Home) 
is the best location for help and project information. New users should check 
out the [Getting 
Started](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/Getting+Started) 
and [Easy 
OCW](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/Easy-OCW+-+A+Guide+to+Simplifying+OCW+Installation)
 pages for help getting the necessary dependencies installed. If you would 
prefer to have an isolated environment set up in a virtual machine you should 
read the [OCW 
VM](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/OCW+VM+-+A+Self+Contained+OCW+Environment)
 documentation. It will help you get up and running quickly with a fresh VM 
image for OCW work.
+
+There are a number of examples in the *examples* directory to help users get 
started with the toolkit API. If you have questions, the best way to get help 
is to email the project mailing lists which can be found on the [project's 
community page](http://climate.apache.org/community/mailing-lists.html).
+
+## Development
+
+OCW always welcomes pull request. Please check the [Developer 
Area](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLIMATE/Developer+Area) on 
the wiki for additional information on how to contribute. The [project's 
JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE) is a great place to start 
looking for issues to solve. Make sure to stop by the mailing lists and 
introduce yourself as well!
