+# Outline for Pulsar documentation
+
+This uses the original material from the Atom Flight manual(their documentation) as a base, and converts and refactors it for modern standards. This will be converted to and tracked from our projects using seperate ones for each section. It is fully expected that all text from your sections has been ran through a tool like [Language Tool](https://languagetool.org). All material should be free from as many errors as possible. We would like to eventually add support for other languages using a language translation service. That way we aren't alienating our userbases from other parts of the world.
+
+## Old Already "Finished" sections
+
+These are already in our atom-archive folder. These just need to be reformatted, branding changed, and use ours and more modern standards. Especially since as we move to more updated libraries methods mentioned in these sections will change and/or break.

+### Atom archive
+
+The "chapters" from the orignal, this section is done. It only serves as a
+reference guide to make copies of in it's new home and then `rebrand -> update -> reorganize` we fully expect that these files are now at a state where we can
+leave them alone in this folder. However We do expect that you pull from here
+and update things if we do not already have it updated ourselves. It should be
+easier to pull from here instead of writing from scratch. If need be put
+warnings ala our common text blocks in the sections, warning that these are
+under active development to fit things.
