+Realistic Foregrounds Simulation for EoR 21cm Signal Detection
+==============================================================
+
+**WARNING:**
+This repository is at its very early stage and under heavy development,
+do *NOT* use at the moment!
+
+This repository provides the tools to simulate the currently *most realistic*
+(to our knowledge) low-frequency radio foregrounds, which can be further
+used to test various foreground removal or separation methods, for the
+purpose of successfully detecting the 21cm cosmological signal arising
+from the netrual hydrogen (HI) of epoch of reionization (EoR).
