+description = """
+Today our systems operate in extreme conditions, functioning across containers,
+virtual machines, infrastructure, networks, embedded systems, in our pockets,
+and even inside of us. Many of these systems depend on one another for
+operation, others are able to operate in failing connectivity without disaster.
+In many cases it is preferable to have the latter, especially if the operation
+the continued operation of the system is at stake. Distributed consensus
+represents one small part of a larger system, and offer the ability to maintain
+a replicated persistent log containing actions that are applied globally into
+a state machine. This allows *n* clients to communicate to a cluster of *m*
+servers in a stable and predictable manner, even in failing network conditions.
+
+Using Ongaro and Osterhouts's Raft algorithm we are developing a fast, low
+level, low requirements implementation of the system in an unopinionated,
+minimal way. The Raft library interfaces with custom or preexisting Log and
+State Machine implementations, providing a Client, Server, and Consensus Module
+within its core. We have chosen an asynchronous single threaded event loop model
+in the Rust language, allowing our implementation to have strong safety and
+performance characteristics with low demands. Communication, a primary
+performance concern, is kept as lightweight and fast as possible by using
+Renshaw's Cap'n Proto implementation. We are currently exploring opportunities
+in trust and security as well as testing our implementation for further failure
+conditions."""
