 Introduction
 ============
 
-**META:** This chapter will be written later, probably about last.
+The goal is to write a book about how real people have applied GTD in
+their lives, or how they've tried to do so, but have not fully succeeded,
+and what kinds of things they've found to work, or not to work.
 
+The eventual goal is to have a real book, published by a real author,
+but also published under a suitable CC license as an e-book online.
+See how [Cory Doctorow](http://craphound.com/) does it, and mimick that.
+
+The goal is to write the book using an ikiwiki instance, and generate
+a PDF and epub from markdown, using tools to be determined later. Possibly
+using a pipeline involving markdown(1), some HTML templates, a custom
+CSS style sheet, and wkhtmltopdf to generate the PDF,
+and something else for epub. This can all be solved later, once there's
+some actual text.
+
+Only the authors will be able to modify the site on Branchable. For now.
+
+For now, let's not create subpages, but work on the outline on the
+front page.
