+## Welcome to Radiant
+
+Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for
+small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a general
+purpose content management system (not just a blogging engine).
+
++[![Build Status](http://travis-ci.org/radiant/radiant.png)](http://travis-ci.org/radiant/radiant)
+
+Radiant features:
+
+* An elegant user interface
+* The ability to arrange pages in a hierarchy
+* Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging
+  language (Radius: http://radius.rubyforge.org)
+* A simple user management/permissions system
+* Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML (it's easy to
+  create other filters)
+* An advanced plugin system
+* Operates in two modes: dev and production depending on the URL
+* A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes
+* Built using Ruby on Rails
+* And much more...
