 ## Install
 
-Gpython is a Go program and comes as a single binary file.
-
-Download the relevant binary from here: https://github.com/go-python/gpython/releases
+Download directly from the [releases page](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/releases) 
 
-Or alternatively if you have Go installed use
+Or if you have Go installed:
 
- go get github.com/go-python/gpython
-
-and this will build the binary in `$GOPATH/bin`. You can then modify
-the source and submit patches.
+ go install github.com/go-python/gpython
 
 ## Objectives

+gpython started as an experiment to investigate how hard
 porting Python to Go might be. It turns out that all those C modules
-are a significant barrier to making a fully functional port.
+are a significant barrier to making gpython a complete replacement
+to CPython. 
 
-## Status
+However, to those who want to embed a highly popular and known language
+into their Go application, gpython could be a great choice over less
+capable (or lesser known) alternatives.
 
-The project works well enough to parse all the code in the python 3.4
-distribution and to compile and run python 3 programs which don't
-depend on a module gpython doesn't support.
+## Status
 
-See the examples directory for some python programs which run with
-gpython.
+gpython currently:
+ - Parses all the code in the Python 3.4 distribution
+ - Runs Python 3 for the modules that are currently supported
+ - Supports concurrent multi-interpreter execution ("multi-context") 
 
 Speed hasn't been a goal of the conversions however it runs pystone at
-about 20% of the speed of cpython. The pi test runs quicker under
-gpython as I think the Go long integer primitives are faster than the
+about 20% of the speed of CPython. The [π test](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/tree/master/examples/pi_chudnovsky_bs.py) runs quicker under
+gpython as the Go long integer primitives are likely faster than the
 Python ones.
 
-There are many directions this project could go in. I think the most
-profitable would be to re-use the
-[grumpy](https://github.com/grumpyhome/grumpy) runtime (which would mean
-changing the object model). This would give access to the C modules
-that need to be ported and would give grumpy access to a compiler and
-interpreter (gpython does support `eval` for instance).
+@ncw started gpython it in 2013 and work on is sporadic. If you or someone
+you know would be interested to take it futher, it would be much appreciated.
+
+## Getting Started
 
-I (@ncw) haven't had much time to work on gpython (I started it in
-2013 and have worked on it very sporadically) so someone who wants to
-take it in the next direction would be much appreciated.
+The [embedding example](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/tree/master/examples/embedding) demonstrates how to 
+easily embed and invoke gpython from any Go application.
 
-## Limitations and Bugs
+Importantly, gpython is able to run multiple interpreter instances simultaneously,
+allowing you to embed gpython naturally into your Go application. This makes it
+possible to use gpython in a server situation where complete interpreter 
+independence is an absolute requirement. See this in action in the [multi-context example](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/tree/master/examples/multi-context)
+
+If you are looking to get involved, a light and easy place to start is adding more convenience functions to [py/util.go](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/tree/master/py/util.go). See [notes.txt](https://github.com/go-python/gpython/blob/master/notes.txt) for bigger ideas.
