 This Hg code repository is Mother Mychaela's little playground for experimenting
-with Osmocom libraries.  The objective is to find out: is it possible to link
-with Osmocom libraries, and thus avail ourselves of their awesome power,
-*without* immersing ourselves in the cesspool of autotools?  I (Mother Mychaela)
-and autotools do not mix!
+with Osmocom libraries.  Most code in FreeCalypso and Themyscira queendom is
+written in Ancient UNIX coding style, K&R C with zero dependencies, thus the
+coding universe of Osmocom is very different - but there are certain tasks like
+implementing a GSUP-interfaced SMSC where the need to use Osmocom libraries
+becomes much stronger.  This code repository is a playpen or playground for
+implementing small custom programs that aren't Osmocom-traditional, but do need
+to link with Osmocom libraries.
 
-Addendum: the linking hurdle has been successfully cleared (see the hand-coded
-static Makefiles in subdirectories of this tree), and the new work being done
-in this tree is a prototype SMSC for testing the functionality of OS#6135.
+The main item of interest in this repository is a prototype SMSC implementation
+for the SMS-over-GSUP feature of Osmocom which the Mother is currently working
+on in OS#6135 - see doc/Proto-SMSC-testing article.
