-About
-=====
-
-StatusNet is a Free and Open Source social networking platform. It
-helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short status
-updates, do polls, announce events, or other social activities (and
-you can add more!). Users can choose which people to "follow" and
-receive only their friends' or colleagues' status messages. It
-provides a similar service to sites like Twitter, Google+, Facebook or
-Yammer, but is much more awesome.
-
-With a little work, status messages can be sent to mobile phones,
-instant messenger programs (GTalk/Jabber), and specially-designed
-desktop clients that support the Twitter API.
-
-StatusNet supports an open standard called OStatus
-<http://ostatus.org/> that lets users in different networks follow
-each other. It enables a distributed social network spread all across
-the Web.
-
-StatusNet was originally developed for the Open Software Service,
-Identi.ca <http://identi.ca/>. It is shared with you in hope that you
-too make an Open Software Service available to your users. To learn
-more, please see the Open Software Service Definition 1.1:
-
- http://www.opendefinition.org/ossd
-
-StatusNet, Inc. <http://status.net/> also offers this software as a
-Web service, requiring no installation on your part. See
-<http://status.net/signup> for details. The software run
-on status.net is identical to the software available for download, so
-you can move back and forth between a hosted version or a version
-installed on your own servers.
-
-A commercial software subscription is available from StatusNet Inc. It
-includes 24-hour technical support and developer support. More
-information at http://status.net/contact or email sales@status.net.

-- Upgrade to the Twitter 1.1 API.
-- More robust handling of errors in distribution.

-A full changelog is available at http://status.net/wiki/StatusNet_1.1.1.
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-The primary output for StatusNet is syslog, unless you configured a
-separate logfile. This is probably the first place to look if you're
-getting weird behaviour from StatusNet.
-
-If you're tracking the unstable version of StatusNet in the git
-repository (see below), and you get a compilation error ("unexpected
-T_STRING") in the browser, check to see that you don't have any
-conflicts in your code.
-
-Unstable version
-================
-
-If you're adventurous or impatient, you may want to install the
-development version of StatusNet. To get it, use the git version
-control tool <http://git-scm.com/> like so:
-
- git clone git@gitorious.org:statusnet/mainline.git
-
-This is the version of the software that runs on Identi.ca and the
-status.net hosted service. Using it is a mixed bag. On the positive
-side, it usually includes the latest security and bug fix patches. On
-the downside, it may also include changes that require admin
-intervention (like running a script or even raw SQL!) that may not be
-documented yet. It may be a good idea to test this version before
-installing it on your production machines.
-
-To keep it up-to-date, use 'git pull'. Watch for conflicts!
-
