+# Kotlin Symbol Processing API
+
+Welcome to KSP!
+
+Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) is an API that you can use to develop
+lightweight compiler plugins. KSP provides a simplified compiler plugin
+API that leverages the power of Kotlin while keeping the learning curve at
+a minimum. Compared to KAPT, annotation processors that use KSP can run up to 2x faster.
+
+Most of the documentation of KSP can be found on [kotlinlang.org](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-overview.html). Here are some handy links:
+
+* [Overview](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-overview.html)
+* [Quickstart](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-quickstart.html)
+* [Libraries that support KSP](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-overview.html#supported-libraries)
+* [Why KSP?](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-why-ksp.html)
+* [Examples](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-examples.html)
+* [How KSP models Kotlin code](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-additional-details.html)
+* [Reference for Java annotation processor authors](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-reference.html)
+* [Incremental processing notes](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-incremental.html)
+* [Multiple round processing notes](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-multi-round.html)
+* [KSP on multiplatform projects](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-multiplatform.html)
+* [Running KSP from command line](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-command-line.html)
+* [FAQ](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/ksp-faq.html)
+
+## Feedback and Bug Reporting
+
+[Please let us know what you think about KSP by filing a Github issue](https://github.com/google/ksp/issues)
+or connecting with our team in the `#ksp` channel in the
+[Kotlin Slack workspace](https://kotlinlang.slack.com/)!
+
+If you are interested in sending PRs, please also check out the [Contributor guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+## Ongoing and Future Works
+
+Here are some planned features that have not yet been completely implemented:
+* Support [new Kotlin compiler](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/roadmap.html)
+* Improve support to multiplatform. E.g., running KSP on a subset of targets / sharing computations between targets
+* Improve performance. There a bunch of optimizations to be done!
+* Make the IDE aware of the generated code
+* Keep fixing bugs! \ No newline at end of file
