-This repository contains a collection of packages for building scalable visualization tools at the Allen Institute. It houses the `vis-[package name]` packages on the Allen Institute GitHub organization's NPM package registry.
+This repository contains a collection of TypeScript libraries to help software engineers building scalable visualization tools at the Allen Institute. It houses the `vis-[package name]` packages on the Allen Institute GitHub organization's NPM package registry.
 
-# Available Packages
+**The published packages are in alpha or beta states. They may fundamentally change as we continue building out functionality.** They are used in a production environment so they are relatively stable, but the APIs are not yet finalized.
 
-TODO: Update this based on the package setup we decide to use
+## Available Packages
+
+The following is the list of packages and their descriptions:
 
 -   `vis-dzi`: A renderer for [Deep Zoom Images](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Zoom)
 -   `vis-geometry`: A collection of vector functions for 2D and 3D geometry
 -   `vis-omezarr`: A renderer for [OME-Zarr](https://ngff.openmicroscopy.org/latest/) datasets
 -   `vis-scatterbrain`: A collection of useful utilities used to build our big-data, scalable, scatterplot tool "Scatterbrain" in the Brain Knowledge Platform (will be renamed to `vis-core` in the future)
 
-# Examples
+We use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) for our packages. As of November 2024, all of them are in the `0.0.x` range, indicating that they are in early development.
+
+## Level Of Support
+
+We are planning on occasional updating this tool with no fixed schedule. Community involvement is encouraged through both issues and pull requests.
+
+## Examples
 
-See the `example` directory for example projects using the packages. Over time, these examples will become simpler as the base tooling becomes more mature.

 For details on running or adding new examples, see the `docs/examples.md` file.
 
-# Contributing
+## Contributing
 
 Contributions are welcome! We're currently breaking apart the Scatterbrain component into smaller, more manageable packages. If you have a package that you think would be useful to others, please open a PR.
 
 See the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information on how to contribute to the project!
 
-# Installation for Development
+## Installation for Development
 
 This project uses [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/). We use [Volta](https://volta.sh/) to manage the versions of each. If you're not using Volta, check the "volta" key in the root `package.json` for the Node and pnpm versions we're using when developing.
 
 Volta has experimental support for pnpm, so [follow the steps on their docs](https://docs.volta.sh/advanced/pnpm) to get it enabled.
