+Ema Personal Wiki is a notebook with linkable pages for tracking your ideas, information, todo lists, 
+tasks, bookmarks, projects, notes, brainstorms - in short, your life - in the most flexible way. 
+
+Create pages with information, and link these pages by simply using a WikiWord on another page. This keeps 
+you completely in charge of how you want to organize your personal notebook.
+
+It has two versions: an Android and a Windows version, which are synchronized with your Dropbox account.
+
+The repository has:
+
+- AndroidClient: current production version, quite old now, and with some issues
+- DesktopClient: Windows client
+- EmaXamarin: the new mobile client, developed in Xamarin.Forms, with an Android client for now. This one is available in Beta in the Google Play store.
+- Installer: the installer for the Windows client
+- ema-man: images for the manual. Good that I have these, I should update the dead links to images in the manual to these.
+- lib: dll's needed for the Windows client (from the pre-nuget era)
