+# smedium
+
+smedium is a simple, minimal, static publishing/blog platform.
+
+## How it Works
+
+Users post asciidoc/rst/markdown which is converted to static html available at
+a particular url, either anonymously or for registered users at
+domain/user/url. The original text is stored and can be edited later.  A text
+editor is provided that allows the creation of the documents to be converted.
+It also includes tools to create/embed content stored at other locations.  
+
+The goal of smedium is to only provide a simple editor and place to store the
+static files along with the converted html.  This ideally results in extremely
+fast page loading and very minimal storage requirements.
