+[Mycroft](https://mycroft.ai) was a hackable, open source voice assistant by the now defunct MycroftAI. OpenVoiceOS continues that work and ovos-core (this repo) is the central component.
+
+All Mycroft Skills and Plugins should work normally with OVOS-core, with the exception of Common Play and other media-related skills. Other Mycroft-based assistants are also believed, but not guaranteed, to be compatible.
 
 The biggest difference between OVOS-core and Mycroft-core is that OVOS-core is fully modular. Furthermore, common
 components have been repackaged as plugins. That means it isn't just a great assistant on its own, but also a pretty
 small library!
 
-Furthermore, it offers a number of cli bindings. The old Mycroft shell scripts still exist, and still work, but that
-stuff is now built into the Python program (docs to follow in the form of `--help`, because it's a lot.)

-**Installing OVOS-core** (NOTE: at this early stage, required system libs are presumed, and your distribution might be a

+## Installing OVOS
+
+If you have an existing system that you would like to install OVOS on, we strongly suggest the [ovos-installer](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-installer) to install OVOS and its dependencies. The full assistant requires several repositories and the installer makes it easy to install them all at once.
+
+If you would like to install OVOS on a Raspberry Pi, we suggest using the [RaspOVOS](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/RaspOVOS) image. This image is based on Raspberry Pi OS and includes OVOS and its dependencies running in a "headless" mode (no GUI). It is designed and optimized for a Raspberry Pi 3B, so on a 4 or higher its performance is even better.
+
+If you would like to install OVOS on embedded hardware, we suggest using [ovos-buildroot](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-buildroot). This is a buildroot configuration that can be used to build a custom Linux distribution for embedded hardware. It includes OVOS and its dependencies, and is designed to be as small and efficient as possible.
+
 You can find detailed documentation over at the [community-docs](https://openvoiceos.github.io/community-docs) or [ovos-technical-manual](https://openvoiceos.github.io/ovos-technical-manual)
 
+This repo can be installed standalone via `pip install ovos-core`, which will install the bare minimum components common to all services. This is useful for developers who want to build their own custom voice assistant. For more details, [please see the community docs](https://openvoiceos.github.io/community-docs/042-install_ovos_core/).

 ## Skills
 
-Mycroft is nothing without skills. There are a handful of default skills, but most need to be installed explicitly.  
-See the [Skill Repo](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills#welcome) to discover skills made by others.  
+OVOS is nothing without skills. There are a handful of default skills, but [most need to be installed explicitly](https://openvoiceos.github.io/community-docs/080-ht_skills/). OVOS skills are all pip-installable, and can be found on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/) or by [browsing the OVOS organization on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/OpenVoiceOS/repositories?language=&q=skill&sort=&type=all). Most classic Mycroft skills will also work on OVOS.
