+# Cantius
+
+Software freedom empowers sharing.  Let's dedicate our libre software projects
+to saints known for fostering sharing!
+
+This Guile web server library is dedicated to St. John Cantius, a polish priest
+and university professor of the 15th century.  He became well known for caring
+for the poor — stories survived about him giving away his meal and his shoes but
+also about his penitents being told to give exceptionally huge alms for penance.
+
+## What does this library do?
+
+Cantius builds upon the `(fibers web server)` to provide a more complete tooling
+for building websites.
+
+## Use examples
+
+Please look into the test suite in `tests/guile/`.
+
+## Building & installation
+
+This software has a Guix package definition in Wojtek's [personal
+channel](https://git.koszko.org/guix/about).  That can serve you as a point of
+reference.
+
+## Copying
+
+The source code of this package is available under CC0 v1.0.  The repository is
+kept compliant with the [REUSE](https://reuse.software/) specification, version
+3.0.
+
+Note that the uderlying GNU Guile language is covered by the GNU GPL and hence
