+= ClojureCLR
+
+== Current Status
+
+ClojureCLR on CIDER is not great due to the lack of a fully-functional nREPL
+server for ClojureCLR. There are currently two options:
+
+- https://github.com/clojure/clr.tools.nrepl[clr.tools.nrepl]: A direct (but 
incomplete) port of the reference Clojure nREPL server.
+- 
https://github.com/arcadia-unity/Arcadia/blob/master/Editor/NRepl.cs[Arcadia's 
nREPL]: A basic, but working nREPL implementation in C#.
+
+If you need to use CIDER with ClojureCLR today Arcadia's nREPL is your only 
usable option. That being said - `clr.tools.nrepl` is a much
+more sophisticated project and ideally we should get it over to the finish 
line.
+
+== Usage
+
+NOTE: Contributions welcome!
+
+As `cider-jack-in` doesn't support ClojureCLR projects out-of-the-box 
currently, you'll need to start an nREPL server externally and
+connect to it with `cider-connect`.
+
+== Plans
+
+In an ideal world we'll achieve the following objectives:
+
+- out-of-the-box ClojureCLR support with `cider-jack-in`
+- feature parity between Clojure's nREPL implementation and `clr.tools.nrepl` 
(the project can use some help)
+- adapting `cider-nrepl` for ClojureCLR (some of its codebase is JVM-specific)
+
+Given that Bozhidar's knowledge of CLR and time are limited, it'd be great if 
we manage to find some volunteers to help with the
+work that's needed in this direction. In particular it'd be amazing to 
complete `clr.tools.nrepl`, as the project needs relatively
+little work to be fully usable.
