+<!--
+
+**Here are some ideas to get you started:**
+
+🙋‍♀️ A short introduction - what is your organization all about?
+🌈 Contribution guidelines - how can the community get involved?
+👩‍💻 Useful resources - where can the community find your docs? Is there anything else the community should know?
+🍿 Fun facts - what does your team eat for breakfast?
+🧙 Remember, you can do mighty things with the power of [Markdown](https://docs.github.com/github/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax)

+Encode is dedicated to pushing forward the Python web ecosystem.
+
+Our work includes:
+
+* [Django REST framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) - A world-leading API framework for Django, used by internationally recognised businesses worldwide, [depended on by nearly ½ million repositories](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS01NzA4OTExNg%3D%3D), and with [over 40 million downloads](https://pepy.tech/project/djangorestframework).
+* [HTTPX](https://www.python-httpx.org/) - Pushing forward Python's HTTP capabilities, with a fully featured HTTP client offering both sync and async APIs, with HTTP/1.1 & HTTP/2 support.
+* Starlette, Uvicorn, Databases, ORM. - Building out the core components for a [high-performance Python async web ecosystem](https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r18&hw=ph&test=fortune&l=zijzen-7).
+
+To date we have fielded over 10,000 issues and pull requests, made a substantial impact to the productivity and capabilities of working with APIs using Django, and been a key player in expanding Python's async web and HTTP capabilities.
+
+We provide [monthly reports on all our work](https://www.encode.io/reports/), and offer [sponsor placements alongside our project documentation pages](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/#funding).
