+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Pegleg is a document aggregator that provides early linting and validations via
+`Deckhand`_, a document management micro-service within `Airship`_.
+
+Pegleg supports local and remote `Git`_ repositories. Remote repositories
+can be cloned using a variety of protocols -- HTTP(S) or SSH. Afterward,
+specific revisions within those repositories can be checked out, their
+documents aggregated, linted, and passed to the rest of `Airship`_ for
+orchestration, allowing document authors to manage their site definitions using
+version control.

+
+Core Responsibilities
+=====================
+
+* aggregation - Aggregates all documents required for site deployment across
+  multiple `Git`_ repositories, each of which can be used to maintain separate
+  document sets in isolation
+* linting - Configurable linting checks documents for common syntactical and
+  semantical mistakes
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+For more detailed installation and setup information, please refer to the
+`Getting Started`_ guide.
+
+Integration Points
+==================
+
+Pegleg has the following integration points:
+
+  * `Deckhand`_ which provides document revision management, storage and
+    rendering functionality upon which the rest of the `Airship`_ components
+    rely for orchestration of infrastructure provisioning.
