-    Friendika Communications Server
-
-    http://project.friendika.com
-
-
-	Friendika is a web application for managing social communications. Some
-would call it a "social network" or "distributed social network". We think 
-both terms have been over-used, and don't adequately describe Friendika's 
-capabilities - though Friendika can also fill those roles.
-
-	At its essence, Friendika is a web application which can monitor various
-information and social activity streams, and which also lets you participate
-in online conversations with friends and associates, using a variety of network
-protocols. These are combined into an overview of your various communications
-and activities - regardless of network origin.
-
-	Friendika also manages your personal profiles and photo albums and lets 
-you securely present each of these to specific audiences. Your communications
-can be either open and public, or closed and private. You can easily create
-"groups" of contacts with which you can partition your conversations into
-private social circles, and which cannot be seen outside the circle.
-
-	Friendika is decentralised. Any account on any Friendika server can connect
-with any account on any other Friendika server. You can also connect to and
-interact directly with friends on Facebook, Status.Net, and other federated
-social web services (e.g. identi.ca, GNU-Social, etc.).
-
-	Outgoing communications can be directed to Friendika, existing accounts on 
-Facebook and Twitter, federated social web providers - or even delivered to
-email contacts.
-
-	Incoming data streams aren't limited to traditional social networks.
-They may include most any service which provides a syndication feed (both RSS
-and Atom). This allows you to view communications from friends in other 
-diverse social networks - such as Diaspora, Google Buzz, and millions of 
-blogs, news services, and other websites. You can also import
-contacts from (and write to) anybody that is accessible from your email
-INBOX and view them in your social stream. Over time we will try to
-build two-way bridges to other services so that you can freely
-interact in both directions with anybody on an accessible network that 
-allows it. 
-
-	Communications between Friendika servers are private and encrypted, 
-using military grade encryption - and require mutual identity provenance
-before any data is exchanged. These same crypto mechanisms provide remote 
-password-less authentication; allowing you to post to profiles and view private
-photo collections on other servers - without encountering any login and/or
-authorisation dialogues when visiting these sites.
-
-	Friendika has no boundaries and no central ownership of the data generated
-within the network. Anybody with a commodity PHP/MySQL web server or hosting
-account can provide a server, and each individual server can then support
-up to several thousand participating members - each with their own unique
-communication and privacy needs. This allows Friendika to scale to global
-levels and mimics the decentralised architecture of the web itself.
-
-	If you are creating a website which requires social interaction, Friendika 
-can also take the place of blog software, forum software and feed readers, and
-also provide individualised communications and content management - or
-simply be used as an alternative to traditional "monolithic" social networks.
-
-	Friendika is also free - in every sense of the word. 
-
-	Choose freedom - join us.
