openedx/README.rst

+OpenEdx
+-------
+
+This is the root package for Open edX. 
+The intent is that all importable code from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms, and common directories.
+
+Note: for now the code is not structured like this, and hence legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages. 
+All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will be moved here gradually.
