+** ABOUT Apache Vysper and XMPP **
+
+This project aims at delivering a server implementation of both the core and
IM parts of the XMPP protocol
+(as specified in RFCs 3920 [1] + 3921 [2]).
+
+"Vysper" is pronounced like in "whisper".
+
+XMPP[3] is an open, secure and extensible instant messaging protocol which has
evolved from Jabber.
+It provides interoperability features for communication with other XMPP and
non-XMPP servers.
+It is used and supported by many IM applications, both client and server.
+
+The protocol and its many extensions (called XEPs) are maintained by the XMPP
Standards Foundation (XSF) [4].
+
+In addition to the basic protocol and many small extensions, Vysper currently
comes with working implementations for
+ Multi-User Chat (XEP-0045) [5]
+and
+ Publish-Subscribe (XEP-0060) [6]
