+# Stud.
+
+Ruby's stdlib is missing many things I use to solve most of my software
+problems. Things like like retrying on a failure, supervising workers, resource
+pools, etc.
+
+In general, I started exploring solutions to these things in code over in my
+[software-patterns](https://github.com/jordansissel/software-patterns) repo.
+This library (stud) aims to be a well-tested, production-quality implementation
+of the patterns described in that repo.
+
+For now, these all exist in a single repo because, so far, implementations of
+each 'pattern' are quite small by code size.
+
+## Features
+
+* retry on failure, with back-off, where failure is any exception.
+* generic resource pools
+* supervising tasks
+* tasks (threads that can return values, exceptions, etc)
+* interval execution (do X every N seconds)
+
+## TODO:
+
+* Make sure all things are documented. rubydoc.info should be able to clearly
+  show folks how to use features of this library.
+* Add tests to cover all supported features.
