+I. Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for
+small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License
+(GPL; please see the file COPYING for details). It is simple to configure,
+can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It is
+written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
+
+The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit
+exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would be a
+better name :-)
+
+Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!
+
+
+II. Status
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the
+original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
+specified by the RFCs.
+
+In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
+used in real IRC networks.
+
+Implemented IRC-commands are:
+
+ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, GLINE, HELP, INFO,
+INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, KLINE, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD,
+NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT,
+REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SERVICE, SERVLIST, SQUERY, SQUIT, STATS, SUMMON,
+TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WEBIRC, WHO,
+WHOIS, WHOWAS.
