+The mudpy project aims to create a simple, generic, cross-platform,
+freely-redistributable MUD core engine which can be easily understood and
+extended. It is written in pure Python (currently compatible with 2.5 and later
+2.x versions) and has no prerequisite dependencies beyond Python and its
+built-in modules. All configuration and data are stored in
+consistently-formatted plain text files for ease of administration. The core
+engine is unicode-clean internally and supports UTF-8 encoding for input and
+output of extended text characters.
+
+The mudpy program and sample content are released under a free and open
+license, and any bug reports, criticisms, ideas, patches, content submissions
+or other offers of collaboration are wholeheartedly welcome. (See our contact
+page for more information.)
