 # About Apache River
+
+Welcome to Apache River, a project furthering the development 
+and advancement of Jini technology.
+
+Jini is a service oriented architecture that defines 
+a programming model which both exploits and extends 
+Java technology to enable the construction of secure, 
+distributed systems consisting of federations of services 
+and clients. Jini technology can be used to build 
+adaptive network systems that are scalable, evolvable 
+and flexible as typically required in dynamic 
+computing environments.
+
+Apache River is an effort undergoing incubation at 
+[The Apache Software Foundation](http://www.apache.org/) 
+(ASF), sponsored by the 
+[Apache Incubator](http://incubator.apache.org/) PMC. 
+Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects 
+until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, 
+communications, and decision making process have stabilized 
+in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. 
+While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection 
+of the completeness or stability of the code, it does 
+indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed 
+by the ASF.
