+# Contributing to Eclipse GMF Runtime
+
+Thanks for your interest in this project.
+
+## Project description
+
+The code in this repository contains the GMF Notation metamodel, which is part of the Eclipse GMF Runtime project.
+
+The Eclipse GMF Runtime is an industry proven application framework for creating graphical editors
+using Eclipse EMF and Eclipse GEF.
+
+The GMF Runtime provides many features that one would have to code by hand if using EMF and GMF directly.
+
+- A set of reusable components for graphical editors, such as printing, image export, actions and toolbars and much more.
+- A standardized model to describe diagram elements, which separates between the semantic (domain) and notation (diagram) elements.
+- A command infrastructure that bridges the different command frameworks used by EMF and GEF.
+- An extensible framework that allows graphical editors to be open and extendible.
