 ================================================================================
 
-The BIRD project is an attempt to create a routing daemon running on UNIX-like
-systems (but not necessarily limited to them) with full support of all modern
-routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and powerful route
-filtering language.
-
-If you want to help us debugging, enhancing and porting BIRD or just lurk
-around to see what's going to develop from this strange creature, feel free
-to subscribe to the BIRD users mailing list (bird-users@bird.network.cz),
-send subscribes to majordomo at the same machine).  Bug reports, suggestions,
-feature requests (: and code :) are welcome.
+The BIRD project aims to develop a dynamic IP routing daemon with full support
+of all modern routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and
+powerful route filtering language, primarily targeted on (but not limited to)
+Linux and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General
+Public License.
 
-You can download the latest version from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
-and look at the BIRD home page at http://bird.network.cz/.
+What do we support
+==================
 
-BIRD development started as a student project at the Faculty of Math
-and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic under supervision
-of RNDr. Libor Forst <forst@cuni.cz>. BIRD has been developed and supported
-by CZ.NIC z.s.p.o. http://www.nic.cz/ since 2009.
+	o  Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
+	o  Multiple routing tables
+	o  Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
+	o  Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2, RIPng)
+	o  Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3)
+	o  Babel Routing Protocol (Babel)
+	o  Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
+	o  IPv6 router advertisements
+	o  Static routes
+	o  Inter-table protocol
+	o  Command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of
+	   status of the daemon
+	o  Soft reconfiguration, no need to use complex online commands to
+	   change the configuration, just edit the configuration file and notify
+	   BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch itself to the new
+	   configuration, not disturbing routing protocols unless they are
+	   affected by the configuration changes
+	o  Powerful language for route filtering, see doc/bird.conf.example
+	o  Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD ports
+
+How to install BIRD
+===================
+
+	o  From standard distribution package of your OS (recommended)
+	o  From official binary packages for Debian and Red Hat Linux
+	   ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/debian/
+	   ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/redhat/
+	o  From source code of the latest stable release version
+	   ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
+	o  From source code of the actual development version
+	   git://git.nic.cz/bird.git
+	   https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/bird/
+
+How to install BIRD from source code
+------------------------------------
+
+	$  ./configure
+	$  make
+	$  su
+	#  make install
+	#  vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf
+
+See the file INSTALL for more information about installation from source code.
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+Online documentation is available at http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc or as HTML
+files in the doc directory, you can install it by `make install-docs' and
+rebuild it by `make docs', but you'll need SGMLtools and LaTeX to be installed
+on your machine. You can also download a neatly formatted PostScript version as
+a separate archive (bird-doc-*.tar.gz) from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
