+--- abstract
+
+OSMORA Uniform System Interface is a POSIX replacement for modern computing.
+
+--- middle
+
+# Introduction
+
+POSIX is a foundational standard and has evolved alongside the rapidly changing world of
+computing. However as things increasingly advance, it is becoming growingly reasonable to
+consider POSIX outdated. Despite its inherent challenges and limitations, the POSIX standard
+is still an essential component within many operating systems today. The OUSI standard aims to
+replace POSIX while still mantaining compatibility with legacy POSIX applications.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The goal of OUSI is to replace POSIX by being more flexible, intuitive and simplified while
+still supporting legacy POSIX applications through compatibility mechanisms such as _POSIXSHIM.
+
+
+# Requirements Language
+
+{::boilerplate bcp14-tagged}
+
+# Compatability
+
+OUSI maintains compatibility through its _POSIXSHIM layer. In order for legacy
+POSIX applications to work with OUSI, they must link with the necessary compatibility
+libraries and expose legacy POSIX mechanisms by defining "_POSIXSHIM" globally.
+
+# Standard C library headers
+
+Standard C library headers should be written with OUSI in mind while exposing
+legacy POSIX mechanisms if requested.
+
+## Example of stdio.h
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+#ifndef _STDIO_BRIDGE_H_
+#define _STDIO_BRIDGE_H_    1
+
+#if !defined(_POSIXSHIM)
+#include <ousi/stdio.h>
+#else
+#include <posixshim/stdio.h>
+#endif
+...
+#endif  /* !_STDIO_BRIDGE_H_ */
