-quassel (A cross platform IRC client)
+Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning
+that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central
+core - much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC
+client such as WeeChat, but graphical.
-quassel is based on the qt4 platform. The quassel core connects to
-servers and the quassel client connects to quassel core over the
-internet. It means you can retain your IRC sessions even if your
-X session is blowed up. Multiple clients can attach to and detach
-from a central core. It's like a combination of GNU screen with
-such console IRC clients as weechat, bitchX, and irssi.
+This build creates three binaries - quassel, quasselclient, and
+quasselcore.
+
+Please see the README.SBo file for a fuller description.
