-# Welcome to Libre-SoC ([provisionally renamed](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/2020-January/003580.html) from Libre-RISCV)!
+# Welcome to LibreSoC
-The Libre-SoC project is an effort to develop a complete modern capability
-SoC (quad core, 800mhz, dual issue,
-GPU, VPU) that is libre to the bedrock.
+> We're building a chip. A fast chip. A safe chip. A trusted chip.
-Libre has a very specific meaning and guarantees, where "open" does not.
-See <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html>
-for an explanation of the distinction, and for additional examples:
-<https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Fake_Open_Source>
+> A chip with lots of peripherals. And a VPU. And a 3D GPU...
-This is a publicly editable wiki.
+> Oh and here, have the source code...
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does too.
+Sounds cool? Learn more about the [why](why_a_libresoc) behind LibreSOC and [our mission](The_Mission).

-# Joining/Onboarding Process
-
-This process probably needs some improvement: the basic
-idea is to join the
+1. First, join the
[mailing list](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-riscv-dev),
introduce yourself, and read through
[recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)
and the [[charter]].
-The next thing you should do is read through the [bugs
+2. The next thing you should do is read through the [bugs
list](http://bugs.libre-riscv.org) and see if there are any bugs that
pique your interest.
-We do have funding available (see [[nlnet]]) upon completion of issues -
+3. After that, go ahead and take a look at the resources section below.
+Try and clone a repository with ``git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/repositoryname.git``
+
+4. If you plan to do HDL work, you should familiarize yourself with our [[HDL_workflow]].
+
+5. We do have funding available (see [[nlnet]]) upon completion of issues -
we are also working on procuring more funding which gets the project to
nanometre scale tapeout.
-After all this, if you feel that Libre-SoC is a good cause that
-you would like to contribute to, add yourself to the [[current_members]]
+6. After all this, if you feel that Libre-SoC is a good cause that
+you would like to contribute to, add yourself to the [current_members](about_us)
page, fill in some information about yourself, and join the mailing list
and say hello.
+Also note that you can edit this wiki. See the last section of this page.
