+# Experiments
+
+This directory contains experiments, work-in-progress crates, or other code and documentation, that
+do not fall under the same stability guarantees as the main crates (`matrix-sdk`,
+`matrix-sdk-crypto`, etc.).
+
+Lab projects might be abandoned and possibly removed at any time.
+
+---
+
+That said, this directory is meant to freely explore unconventional or interesting ways the Matrix
+Rust SDK can evolve, feel free to propose an experiment.
+
+## Current experiments
+
+TBD
+
+
+## Archived experiments
