+
+## General principle
+
+Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
+
+It is meant to be a simple filehosting service, simple to use, simple to install, simple to maintain.
+
+This project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.
+
+So things like a markdown parser for the ToS or E-Mail tasks would be usefull for sure, but may be [rejected](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues/37#note_1191566) since they would a lot of dependencies and makes the project more complex.
+
+## Structure
Here is a little explaination of Jirafeau's arboresence in a simplified
view only to show the most importants files and their role.
+```
.
├── admin.php : adminitration interface, also permits to download files
├── f.php : permits to download files or show the download page
├── async : chunks of uploaded files
├── files : all files that has been successfully uploaded
└── links : all links pointing to files with meta-informations
+```

-Coding style:
+## Coding style
- PHP function keywords are alone on a line
-- Braces "{" must are put in a new line
-- Files must be in UTF-8 (without BOM)
-- Uses LF (\n) for end of lines
+- Braces "{" must be put in a new line
+- Files must be in UTF-8 without BOM and use Unix Line Endings (LF)

+The whole project is not clean about that yet, feel free to fix :)

+## Merge Requests
