GitHub wiki updated with basic intro

A project log for lwframework : code framework for MSP430

lwframework is a high-performance code framework for MSP430s. It tries to be a middle ground between Energia/Arduino and a full-blown RTOS.

I've been having some trouble writing up an introduction to lwframework because it constantly seems like everything's interconnected. Plus I feel like I have to justify its existence: "why use callbacks for everything?" "why not just create new Energia stuff" etc. etc.

So I just started putting up something on the GitHub wiki to explain how it works. Hopefully I'll be adding an example directory soon to show how to do certain things. I'm trying to avoid any direct comparisons to other projects, because that requires quite a bit of work to do it fairly. But that'll come, obviously.

So the first wiki entry:

https://github.com/barawn/lwf_core_template/wiki

has the 'blink an LED' project. Hopefully some of lwframework's benefits become obvious already here - blinking multiple LEDs, at different, or even varying, rates becomes trivial, and the system stays asleep the majority of the time anyway.
