OculusSDK
=========
-Oculus SDK with modifications for Linux development and Java development. The
-'master' branch will attempt to track the publicly released SDK version, while
-additional branches will be used for my custom modifications.
+Oculus SDK with additional community supported features and bug-fixes.
+
+Goals
+-----
+
+* Providing new features
+ * C bindings
+ * Python bindings
+ * Java bindings
+* Providing new tools
+ * Command line diagnostics for people having trouble with Rift detection
+* Providing new sample code
+ * Alternative mechanisms for rendering the Rift distortion
+ * Sample code for the non-C++ language bindings
+* Helping developers write better or easier Oculus Rift compatible software
+
+Licensing
+---------

terms of the Oculus SDK license, included in this kit as LICENSE.TXT and

-Currently the 'linux' branch contains modifications to the SDK that allow the
-SensorBox sample to function with my local Ubuntu 13.04 distribution. It is
-currently a work in progress and no guarantee is made that you will be able to
-compile or run the application without significant effort installing dependencies
-and or fiddling with Makefiles. Good luck!
+Branches
+--------
+
+### official
+This branch will track the SDK releases from Oculus VR. It should contain only files that are included in the official
+SDK, as well as the minimal additional files to get it to play well with GitHub. Specifically this README file for the
+uninitiated and a .gitignore file to exclude artifacts from the official SDK that we do not wish to track in GitHub.
+The latter mostly consists of the binary files distributed with the SDK and documentation or any other artifacts
+with unknown or suspect licensing that would prohibit reproduction on GitHub.
+
+### stable
+Contains features that are considered complete and safe to use.
+
+### unstable
+The tip of shared development. Contains features that may not have been merged into stable. Not guaranteed to work
+at any given time.
+
+### feature-XXX
+Feature branches for changes that will require significant time and codebase changes to function, but
+which may be being developed in a team or made available for testing to the general public.
