+# Rory&::LibMatrix
+
+An extensible C# library for the Matrix protocol. Primarily built around our own project needs, but we're open to contributions and improvements, especially around spec compliance.
+The library primarily targets .NET 7, but will update to .NET 8 once that's released. Preferably, we like to follow the latest release of .NET. 
+
+# Installation
+
+Probably add as a submodule for now? NuGet packaging still has to be implemented.
+
+# Contributing
+
+Any contribution is welcome, even if it's just documentation or recommended git practices! We're not too strict on code style, but we do have a few guidelines:
+- Use spaces, not tabs
+- Use 4 spaces for indentation
+- Use the C# naming convention for variables, methods, etc.
+- Wrap lines at 160 characters, though this value can be changed if it's too lean or strict
+- Use the `#region` and `#endregion` directives to group code if you're adding utility functions
