Subject: Hack images, store outputs in git again for now

Easier to track what each script change does if we keep the before and
after versions of the markdown in git too.  Clean this up eventually,
but simplifies development.

+# Overview
+
+Recent revelations have called into question the integrity of some of
+the implementations of basic cryptographic functions and devices used to
+secure communications on the Internet. There are serious questions about
+algorithms and about implementations of those algorithms in software and
+particularly hardware. The goal of the [CrypTech](https://cryptech.is)
+project is to provide some possible answers to those questions by
+developing an open-source hardware cryptographic engine that meets the
+needs of high assurance Internet infrastructure systems that use
+cryptography.
+
+The algorithmic issues are in the domain of the heavy math cryptography
+folk; the implementation issues are the primary focus of the project.
+The open-source hardware cryptographic engine must be of general use to
+the broad Internet community, covering needs such as secure email, web,
+DNS, PKIs, etc.
+
+The intent of the project is that the final open-source hardware cryptographic
+engine can be built by anyone from public hardware specifications and
+open-source firmware. Anyone can then operate it without fees of any
+kind.
+
+# About Us
+[CrypTech.IS](https://cryptech.is) is a loose international collective
+of [WhoWeAre engineers] trying to improve assurance and privacy on the
+Internet. It is funded diversely and is administratively quartered outside
+the US.
+
+We are actively seeking use cases for an initial project which is to
+produce a design of an open and auditable Hardware Security Module (HSM)
+and supporting software.
+
+We are also considering the issues around assurance of a tool-chain,
+from compiler to operating system and as close to the hardware as we can
+reasonably get.
+
+The project solicits functional requirements from a wide range of
+organizations. It will focus on the classic low level cryptographic
+functions and primitives, and not get drawn into re-implementation of
+application protocol layers.
+
+We hope that a group of interested organizations will offer funding
+for development, and that the IACR and public sector cryptographers will
+provide algorithmic advice and wide and open review. If you or your
+organization is interested in helping this effort, please consider
+offering [financial support](https://cryptech.is/funding/) to keep the
+work flowing.
