Hi Gian,

This was very helpful information. 
Do you think it's a good idea to create a readme explaining at a high-level the 
project structure. As you explained it, this might be a very helpful 
information to new comers who are looking to contribute to the project and make 
them feel more confident knowing the project layout.

Thank you,
Jeet
