+### Directories
+
+* *bash* has just normal bash scripts
+* *nodejs* **MIGHT** get some nodejs scripts
+* *WeeChat* is a placeholder and unlikely to get anything.
+* *ZNC* is another placeholder which is unlikely to get anything.
+    * note that they are *modules* with ZNC, but I don't see why I
+      couldn't put them here.
+
+*I doubt I am going to write many WeeChat scripts or ZNC modules, so I
+ won't be making subdirectories for different languages.*
