-**noun**
-/ˈsindikit/
+# Motivation
-1. a self-organizing group of individuals, companies, corporations or
- entities formed to transact some specific business, to pursue or
- promote a shared interest.
—[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate)
+Syndicate is an Actor-based language with features specifically
+designed to help programmers organise their interactive programs.
----
+# Trying it out
-Syndicate is an Actor-based language with multicast, features for
-managing shared state, and grouping of actors.
+The [Syndicate github repository](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate)
+contains Syndicate implementations for both
+[Racket](http://racket-lang.org/) and
+[ES5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript).
+
+...
+which includes
+
+ - the implementation of the `#lang syndicate` language, in the
+ [`syndicate` directory](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/).
+
+ - a TCP echo server example, which listens for connections on port
+ 5999 by default, in
+ [`syndicate/examples/echo.rkt`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/echo.rkt).
+ Connect to it using, for example, `telnet localhost 5999`.
+
+ - a handful of other examples, in
+ [`syndicate/examples/`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/).
+
+## Compiling and running the code
+
+You will need Racket version 6.3 or later.
+
+Once you have Racket installed, run
+
+ raco pkg install syndicate
+
+to install the package from the Racket package repository, or
+
+ raco pkg install
+
+from the root directory of the Git checkout to install the package
+from a local snapshot. (Alternatively, `make link` does the same thing.)
+This will make `#lang syndicate` available to programs.
+
+At this point, you may load and run any of the example `*.rkt` files
+in the
+[`syndicate/examples/`](https://github.com/tonyg/syndicate/tree/master/syndicate/examples/)
+directory.
