 ### Introduction
 
-A starting point for Neovim that is:
+This project is heavily based on TJ DeVries amazing work to promote Neovim adoption and usage.
+Please see the original project nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
+In my neovim journey I recently migrated from vimscript to lua, and I am still in the process of adjusting my setup.
 
-* Small
-* Single-file (with examples of moving to multi-file)
-* Documented
-* Modular
+I am working to make this kickstart a standard for my development team, which is easy to deploy on Windows Linux amd MacOSX systems.
+Kickstart is just a configuration procedure. It requires to have several components installed and prepared. In the following notes I will list the preparation activities to be performed on the different operating systems.
+A possible alternative approach is to use a neovim distribution, like 
+- [LazyVim](https://www.lazyvim.org/): maintained by @folke (the author of lazy.nvim package manager)
 
-This repo is meant to be used as by **YOU** to begin your Neovim journey; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss.
