-This code is still in Alpha. More tests have currently been done on the
-library code then on the utilities.
+The utilities are beta quality at this point. The library is in production
+in many locations (upwards to 1000+ nodes).
+
+Want to contribute? If you write more then three good patches, then I will
+just ask you to commit directly to the tree. I am happy to have additional
+people work on this project. Please checkout README.FIRST.
+
+You will need a C99 compiler in order to compile this library. Currently we
+actively support Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, and Solaris. A Windows port is
+currently not supported, but one is listed on the homepage that is supported
+by someone in the community.
