+# The Quest Knowledge base
+
+This is a collection of relevant information for corpus creators compiled as 
+part of the [QUEST](https://www.slm.uni-hamburg.de/ifuu/forschung/forschungsprojekte/quest.html)
+project.
+
+The information is stored as [reStructuredText](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html),
+which can e.g. be converted to HTML files.
+
+To convert files a [Makefile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile) is provided which requires 
+[sed](https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/) and [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/).
+
+Additional contributions and/or translations are welcome.
