+
+Thanks for checking out the project! It's in its early stages and currently a mix of protoyping and early structure pointing in the direction we want to go with Video.js v10 (so be kind 🙏).
+
+#### Get up to speed
+
+* Read the [v10 discussion topic](https://github.com/videojs/video.js/discussions/9035)
+* Watch [Heff's recent presentation](https://players.brightcove.net/3737230800001/eyILA5XG7K_default/index.html?videoId=6379311036112)
+* More roadmap and architecture docs to come...
+
+#### How you can help currently
+
+* Run the React and HTML demos
+* Give us feedback in a github issue on:
+  * The aesthetics of the player(s)
+  * The initial embed code and component structure
+  * The general direction
+
+Thank you!
