+# slog-rs - The Logging for [Rust][rust]
+
+### Introduction (please read)
+
+`slog` is an ecosystem of reusable components for structured, extensible,
+composable and contextual logging for [Rust][rust].
+
+The ambition is to be The Logging Library for Rust. `slog` should accommodate a
+variety of logging features and requirements. If there is a feature that you
+need and standard `log` crate is missing, `slog` should have it.
+
+This power comes with a little steeper learning curve, so if you experience any
+problems, **please join [slog-rs gitter] channel** to get up to speed. If you'd
+like to take a quick, convenient route, consider using
+[sloggers](https://docs.rs/sloggers/) wrapper library.
+
+While the code is reliable, the documentation sometimes could use an improvement.
+Please report all issues and ideas.
+
+### Features & technical documentation
+
+Most of the interesting documentation is auto-generated and hosted on [https://docs.rs](https://docs.rs/slog/).
+
+Go to [docs.rs/slog](https://docs.rs/slog/) to read about features and APIs
+(examples included).
+
+**Note**: `slog` is just a core, and the actual functionality is inside
+many feature crates. To name a few:
+
+* [slog-term](https://docs.rs/slog-term/) for terminal output
+* [slog-async](https://docs.rs/slog-async/) for asynchronous logging
+* [slog-json](https://docs.rs/slog-json/) for logging JSON
+* [slog-syslog](https://docs.rs/slog-syslog/) for logging to syslog
+* [sloggers](https://docs.rs/sloggers/) for convenience methods (note: [3rd-party library](https://github.com/sile/sloggers))
+
+There are many more slog feature crates. Search for [more slog features on
+crates.io](https://crates.io/search?q=slog). It is easy to write and publish
+new ones. Look through all the [existing crates using
+slog](https://crates.io/crates/slog/reverse_dependencies) for examples and ideas.
+
+### Terminal output example
+
+`slog-term` is only one of many `slog` features - useful showcase,
+multi-platform, and featuring eg. automatic TTY detection and colors.
+
+See following screenshot: same output in both compact and full output mode.

+## Using & help
+
+Please use [slog-rs gitter] channel to ask for help or discuss
+slog features.
+
+See
+[examples/features.rs](https://github.com/slog-rs/misc/blob/master/examples/features.rs)
+for full quick code example overview.
+
+Read [Documentation](https://docs.rs/slog/) for details and features.

+## Slog community
+
+Slog related crates are hosted under [slog github
+organization](https://github.com/slog-rs).
+
+Dawid Ciężarkiewicz is the original author and current maintainer of `slog` and
+therefore self-appointed benevolent dictator over the project. When working on
+slog Dawid follows and expects everyone to follow his [Code of
+Conduct](https://github.com/dpc/public/blob/master/COC.md).
+
+Any particular repositories under slog ecosystem might be created, controlled,
+maintained by other entities with various levels of autonomy. Lets work together
+toward a common goal in a respectful and welcoming atmosphere!
+
+## Verification Recommendation
+
+To help with the maintaince, the ownership of this crate is potentially shared between multiple developers.
+It is recommended to always use [cargo-crev](https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev)
+to verify the trustworthiness of each of your dependencies, including this one.
