+ODU RCS Knowledge Base Workspace
+================================
+
+This git-based KB is to complement
+[RC2 OneNote document](https://olddominion.sharepoint.com/sites/ITS-ResearchComputingServices/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc={5f64d691-e49a-473a-98b3-de555a713f35}&action=view)
+and our
+[HPC wiki](https://wiki.hpc.odu.edu/)
+as a quick-and-dirty, programmer-friendly, collaborative space for
+storing knowledge, pointers, etc. to non-sensitive information
+about research computing in general.
+
+Once certain bit of topic has crystallized and matured,
+we can edit and polish the KB article to become a wiki
+or Q&A.
+
+NOTE:
+WP started this KB as a personal project in 2019, but would like to invite all
+other RCS staff to work together to create a library of our collective
+knowledge.
