+## About
+
+Markdown is formatting syntax that is lightweight, easy to write and easy to read.  It's main goal is to be as readable as possible as plain text:
+
+> "The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make
+ it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted
+ document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking
+ like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While
+ Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML
+ filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax
+ is the format of plain text email." - [John Gruber](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)
+
+Various libraries are available to convert markdown into structurally valid XHTML. This makes it possible to produce rich text documents in a syntax that's nearly as powerful as HTML, but much easier to use.
+
+### History
+
+Markdown was originally authored by John Gruber and Alex Swartz and is officially hosted at John Grubers [site](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/).
+
+Markdown rose in popularity after [Github](https://github.com) implemented it and since then many other sites have followed.
+
+### The future
+
+The markdown community hopes to use this site and its [associated Github account](https://github.com/markdown) to [be a better parent](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/12/responsible-open-source-code-parenting.html) to Markdown.  It will be a central location for information on markdown and will help move markdown forwards and into maturity.
