 # MXNet
-This is an experimental project to put cxxnet and minerva together, nothing is working yet.
+This is a project that combines lessons and ideas we learnt from [cxxnet](https://github.com/dmlc/cxxnet), [minerva](https://github.com/dmlc/minerva) and [purine2](https://github.com/purine/purine2).
+- The interface is designed in collaboration by authors of three projects.
+- Nothing is yet working
 
 # Guidelines
 * Use google c style
 * Put module header in [include](include)
-  - move them to ```project-name/include``` when we finalized the name
 * Depend on [dmlc-core](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core)
 * Doxygen comment every function, class and variable for the module headers
   - Ref headers in [dmlc-core/include](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core/tree/master/include/dmlc)
   - Use the same style as dmlc-core
-* Try write some use-cases of interface in [test](test)
-  - They do not need to link, but need to pass compile
 * Minimize dependency, if possible only depend on dmlc-core
 * Macro Guard CXX11 code by 
   - Try to make interface compile when c++11 was not avaialable(but with some functionalities pieces missing)
