Update README.md for 6.6.0a release
-# cFE
+# Core Flight System : Framework : Core Flight Executive
-This repository contains the code for cFE, NASA's core Flight Executive. It also contains a number of submodules including OSAL, example "lab" applications, and mission ready applications. Together, these repositories constitute the core Flight System (cFS). Please note that this configuration has not been verified as an operational system.
+This repository contains NASA's Core Flight Executive (cFE), which is a framework component of the Core Flight System.
-The official releases are tagged and assigned a version number. Applications (in the `apps` directory) that have the `_lab` postfix or `sample_` prefix are not intended to be used for flight.
+This is a collection of services and associated framework to be located in the `cfe` subdirectory of a cFS Mission Tree. The Core Flight System is bundled at https://gethub.com/nasa/cFS, which includes build and execution instructions.
-## Intent
+## Release Notes
-This repository is intend to:
-* help foster a larger community of cFS users
-* allow easier distribution of cFS
-* provide a way for users to submit issues for suspected bugs
+cFE 6.6.0a is released under the Apache 2.0 license, see [LICENSE](LICENSE-18128-Apache-2_0.pdf).
-Active development of cFS is not performed with this repository. We are working on ways to improve communication between public users and developers (for now use GitHub's issue tracker here). We are also looking into ways to better keep the public abreast of cFS development.
+Additional release notes are found in [release notes](docs/cFE_release_notes.md). See the [version description document](docs/cFE_6_6_0_version_description.md) for the full version description document. Test results can be found in [test results](test-and-ground/test-review-packages/Results). This is a point release from major development work currently being performed on an internal repository.
