+# What is Rakudo Star?
+
+Rakudo Star is a Perl 6 distribution designed for use by early adopters of the language.  It includes
+a virtual machine (the JVM or MoarVM), the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, and a suite of modules that users
+may find useful.  This image includes the MoarVM backend for the compiler.

+# How to use this image
+
+Simply running a container with the image will launch a Perl 6 REPL:
+
+    $ docker run -it rakudo-star
+    > say 'Hello, Perl!'
+    Hello, Perl!
+
+You can also provide perl6 command line switches to `docker run`:
+
+    $ docker run -it rakudo-star -e 'say "Hello!"'
+
+# Contributing/Getting Help

+Many Perl 6 developers are present on #perl6 on Freenode.
