+Friendica Social Communications Server
+======================================
-Mistpark Server
-Version 2.0 alpha
+http://friendica.com
-IMPORTANT: Please see the file INSTALL for system requirements.
+Welcome to the free social web.
-Mistpark introduces a new generation of social networks. Mistpark Server
-allows you to interact with other members of the Mistpark community using
-the DFRN (Distributed Friends and Relations Network) protocol. Other networks
-(such as Diaspora, OneSocialWeb, status.net, etc.) will be supported in the
-future as their products mature and protocol and privacy/rights issues are
-resolved between these networks.
-It's your network now. If social networking isn't what you thought it would
-be, help us to make it better.
-
-A single instance of Mistpark Server supports up to several hundred people
-using commodity hosting hardware. Each of these people can connect with any
-other mistpark/DFRN cell anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
-status updates, whatever. Also available from Mistpark Labs is
-Mistpark Personal Edition, which supports a single user.
-
-Mistpark may also be closed off from the global community and used to support
-social networking amongst corporate, educational, religious, and other private
-communities. This makes it an excellent choice for providing a safe social
-networking environment to young teenagers, as opposed to (for instance)
-Facebook.
-
-Every user has unlimited profiles available. There is a "public profile" which
-can be seen by anybody. Additional profiles may be tailored to specific
-groups or individuals - and shown when a known friend visits your site.
-
-Groups may be setup for closed conversations (like Diaspora's "aspects"). In
-this way your conversations with drinking buddies may be kept separate from
-conversations with co-workers (for instance).
-
-Please see http://dfrn.org for more information on the mistpark/DFRN project.
-
-We will be providing a support site specifically for mistpark at
-http://mistpark.com at a future (unspecified) date. We are still
-evaluating wiki, forum, and bug-tracking software for use on the project.
-At the present time, you may contact the author and raise issues via
-the source code repository on github.com.
-
-Please support mistpark with a donation.
+Friendica is a communications platform for integrated social communications utilising decentralised communications and linkage to several indie social projects - as well as popular mainstream providers.
+Our mission is to free our friends and families from the clutches of data-harvesting corporations, and pave the way to a future where social communications are free and open and flow between alternate providers as easily as email does today.
