+==========
+Tahoe-LAFS
+==========
+
+Tahoe-LAFS is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store. It
+distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if some of the
+servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire filesystem continues
+to work correctly and to preserve your privacy and security.
+
+To get started please see `quickstart.rst`_ in the docs directory.
