> Ion is still a WIP, and both its syntax and rules are subject to change over time. It is
> still quite a ways from becoming stabilized, but we are getting very close. Changes to the
> syntax at this time are likely to be minimal.
+# Ion Specification
+
+Ion has a RFC process for language proposals. Ion's formal specification is located within the
+[rfcs](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/ion/tree/rfcs) branch. The RFC process is still in
+the early stages of development, so much of the current and future implementation ideas have
+yet to be written into the specification.
+
# Ion Manual
-We are providing our manual for Ion in the form of a markdown-based book, which is accessible via:
-
-- The official page for Ion's manual on Redox's website: https://doc.redox-os.org/ion-manual/
-- Installing the mdbook via our `setup.ion` script and having Ion open an offline copy via `ion-docs`.
-- Building and serving the book in the **manual** directory yourself with [mdBook](https://github.com/azerupi/mdBook)
-
-> Note, however, that the manual is incomplete, and does not cover all of Ion's functionality
-> at this time. Anyone willing to help with documentation should simply do so and submit a pull
-> request. If you have any questions regarding certain implementation details, feel free to
-> ask in whichever venue you are most comfortable with.
-
-# Goals
-
-Syntax and feature decisions for Ion are made based upon three measurements: is the feature useful,
-is it simple to use, and will its implementation be efficient to parse and execute? A feature is
-considered useful if there's a valid use case for it, in the concept of a shell language. The
-syntax for the feature should be simple for a human to read and write, with extra emphasis on
-readability, given that most time is spent reading scripts than writing them. The implementation
-should require minimal to zero heap allocations, and be implemented in a manner that requires
-minimal CPU cycles (so long as it's also fully documented and easy to maintain!).
-
-It should also be taken into consideration that shells operate entirely upon strings, and therefore
-should be fully equipped for all manner of string manipulation capabilities. That means that users
-of a shell should not immediately need to grasp for tools like **cut**, **sed**, and **awk**. Ion
-offers a great deal of control over slicing and manipulating text. Arrays are treated as first
-class variables with their own unique **@** sigil. Strings are also treated as first class
-variables with their own unique **$** sigil. Both support being sliced with **[range]**, and they
-each have their own supply of methods.
-
-# Why Not Windows Support?
-
-Windows is not, and may never be supported due to certain limitations in the NT kernel. Namely,
-where in all non-Windows operating systems, the kernel takes an array of strings that defines
-the command to execute, and all of that command's arguments; Windows instead takes a single
-string that contains both the command and all of its arguments. This pushes the job of parsing
-arguments from the system shell onto the individual program, and may account for why the command-line
-in Windows is so funky.
-
-In addition, Windows does not support forking, a concept by which a new sub-process is spawned with
-the same state as the parent, for the purpose of continuing execution down a different path from the
-parent. This enables for subshells to be spawned, as commonly seen by process expansions (**$()**),
-among piping builtins and functions.
+The Ion manual is generated automatically on each commit via [mdBook](https://github.com/azerupi/mdBook).
+The manual is located [here](https://doc.redox-os.org/ion-manual/) on Redox OS's website. It is
+also included in the source code for Ion, within the **manual** directory, which you may build
+with **mdbook**.

-# Git Plugin
-
-Plugins support within Ion is still a work in progress, and so the plugin architecture is likely to change. That said,
-there's an official git plugin that can be installed to experiment with the existing plugin namespaces plugin support.
-To install the git plugin, first install ion, and then execute the following:
-
-```ion
-./setup.ion install plugins
-```
-
-It can be tested out by navigating to a directory within a git repository, and running the following:
-
-```ion
-echo Current Branch: ${git::branch}${git::modified_count}${git::untracked_count}
