+Introduction
+============
+
+Seafile is a distributed file synchronization client/server. A user
+first creates a synchronized folder on a server, then sync it with any
+local folder. It is distributed in the sense that a client can sync
+with any server, public key authentication is used, no login from
+client is required.
+
+Feature Summary
+================
+
+Seafile can be used to build a full-fledged cloud storage platform. It
+has following features:
+
+1. Full web operations like create folders, upload files, move files.
+2. Synchronizing on demand (every client can choose what to sync)
+3. Sync with existing folders
+4. Sharing groups, users can create and join groups. 
+5. Full version operation like SyncFolder history, single file history, 
+   file restore.
+6. Organizations, users can create and join organizations like github.
+
+Seafile uses GIT's version control model, but simplified for automatic
+file synchronization. Every synchronized folder is like a
+GIT repository. It has its own unique history, which consists of a
+list of commits. File history, commit diff, etc., are all supported.
+
+Multiple storage backends can be used to store metadatas and files.
