 # mudstandards
 Collection of quasi standards for Multi User Dungeons
+
+This repository aims to have a collection of (quasi) standards that are used in MUDs (multi user dungeons) and/or MUD clients.
+
+Also, serves as a development platform for my own suggestions. Currently, this is mainly intermud-v2.5.
