+Alexandria is a collection of portable public domain utilities that
+meet the following constraints:
+
+ * Utilities, not extensions: Alexandria will not contain conceptual
+   extensions to Common Lisp, instead limiting itself to tools and
+   utilities that fit well within the framework of standard ANSI
+   Common Lisp. Test-frameworks, system definitions, logging
+   facilities, serialization layers, etc. are all outside the scope of
+   Alexandria as a library, though well within the scope of Alexandria
+   as a project.
+
+ * Conservative: Alexandria limits itself to what project members
+   consider conservative utilities. Alexandria does not and will not
+   include anaphoric constructs, loop-like binding macros, etc.
+
+ * Portable: Alexandria limits itself to portable parts of Common
+   Lisp. Even apparently conservative and useful functions remain
+   outside the scope of Alexandria if they cannot be implemented
+   portably. Portability is here defined as portable within a
+   conforming implementation: implementation bugs are not considered
+   portability issues.

+Patches:
+
+  Patches are always welcome! Please send them to the mailing list as
+  attachments, generated by "git format-patch -1".
+
+  Patches should include a commit message that explains what's being
+  done and /why/, and when fixing a bug or adding a feature you should
+  also include a test-case.
+
+  Be advised though that right now new features are unlikely to be
+  accepted until 1.0 is officially out of the door.
