-JDBC Driver Implementation for the Wherobots Spatial SQL API
+# Wherobots Spatial SQL JDBC Driver
+
+This library provides a JDBC driver implementation for the Wherobots
+Spatial SQL API. It allows you to build Java/Scala/Kotlin applications
+that can interact with Wherobots and leverage the Spatial SQL and
+geospatial analytics capabilities of WherobotsDB.
+
+This JDBC driver is also directly usable from database applications like
+JetBrains's DataGrip or DBeaver.
+
+## Usage
+
+### As a library
+
+```gradle
+dependencies {
+  implementation 'com.wherobots.jdbc:wherobots-jdbc-driver:0.1.0'
+}
+```
+
+### In DataGrip
+
+TODO: add instructions for configuring a database connection with the
+Wherobots JDBC driver.
+
+## Release
+
+To publish a new release, you need an account on [Sonatype's Central
+Portal](https://central.sonatype.com) with permissions to publish into
+the `com.wherobots` namespace. From your account, create an API key,
+which gets you a user token and secret key pair:
+
+```sh
+export OSSRH_USERNAME=<user token>
+export OSSRH_PASSWORD=<secret key>
+```
+
+You also need a GnuPG key, loaded up in `gpg-agent`, for signing the
+release artifacts.
+
+Then, after setting the new version in `lib/build.gradle`, publish with:
+
+```sh
+$ ./gradlew clean publishToCentralPortal
+```
+
+You can then check the status and validation of thsi deployment at
+https://central.sonatype.com/publishing/deployments
