 # @nostrwatch 
-nostr.watch discovers, monitors and indexes nostr relays, and then publishes the results in the form of NIP-66. There are many shared packages between agents and clients. The ones that are useful external to nostr.watch are in `./libraries` and purpose built packages are in `./internal`. 
+A Typescript stack for monitoring, auditing, describing and validating anything related to nostr relays. `@nostrwatch` is an [OpenSats](http://opensats.org) grant recipient.

+# development
+
+`@nostrwatch` will be open to contributions after the agents have been rewritten, contribution guidelines have been established and documents are in place for all apps, agents and libraries
 
-# Stack
-
-## agents 
-- **trawler** - finds new relays to monitor
-- **nocapd** - monitors relays and publishes NIP-66 events
-
-## gui
-- **nostr.watch** - early stages
-
-## libraries 
-- **nocap** - Runs basic checks on relays.
-- **kit** - Attempts to simplify the process of aggregating NIP-66 events (overkill for general use!)
-- **idb** - Purpose built IDB for more advanced NIP-66 usage (overkill for general use!)
-
-### Development 
-a `CONTRIBUTE.md` will exist somewhere down the road. Since it's early stage, many details are not yet established, but here some details that are:
-
-1. Primary branch for development @nostrwatch:next is `next`. Legacy is on `main` and the workflows are still functional for patches and legacy maintenance headaches. 
-2. Branching model: TBD (Trunk Based Development), trunk branch is `next` for early stage. Early alpha there will be long-standing branches for packages that are not yet in next. Once `@nostrwatch:next` reaches beta `next` will become `main` and there will be `trunk` branch.
-3. GH Actions will be used for CI/CD
-4. Issues will be reserved for actionable items, such as bugs. Anything requiring discussion lives in discussion until it's promoted to an issue. 
-5. PRs should be opened as a draft. When the PR is ready to be published commits should be squashed.
