+## Project Definition
+
+BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out of the box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.
+
+BookStack is not designed as an extensible platform to be used for purposes that differ to the statement above.

## Development & Testing
All development on BookStack is currently done on the master branch. When it's time for a release the master branch is merged into release with built & minified CSS & JS then tagged at it's version. Here are the current development requirements:
SASS is used to help the CSS development and the JavaScript is run through browserify/babel to allow for writing ES6 code. Both of these are done using gulp. To run the build task you can use the following commands:
``` bash
-# Build and minify for production
+# Build assets for development
npm run-script build
+# Build and minify assets for production
+npm run-script production
+
# Build for dev (With sourcemaps) and watch for changes
npm run-script dev
```
## Translations
As part of BookStack v0.14 support for translations has been built in. All text strings can be found in the `resources/lang` folder where each language option has its own folder. To add a new language you should copy the `en` folder to an new folder (eg. `fr` for french) then go through and translate all text strings in those files, leaving the keys and file-names intact. If a language string is missing then the `en` translation will be used. To show the language option in the user preferences language drop-down you will need to add your language to the options found at the bottom of the `resources/lang/en/settings.php` file. A system-wide language can also be set in the `.env` file like so: `APP_LANG=en`.
+
+You will also need to add the language to the `locales` array in the `config/app.php` file.
Some strings have colon-prefixed variables in such as `:userName`. Leave these values as they are as they will be replaced at run-time.
