-Right now this crate is very simple and it just supports sending messages through specs to other clients. It uses a combination of `EventChannel`s
-to send events between the network thread. In its current state it is not ready to be used in a game but there is work going into [Laminar](https://github.com/amethyst/laminar) that will soon be the underlying socket implemenation for this crate.
+The networking crate for the `amethyst` game engine. This crate provides the API and functionality which application developers will normally use to develop multiplayer games. The main engine can be found at https://amethyst.rs.

+This project is still at an early stage. We are currently designing and implementing a fast/robust networking system on top of specs. To exercise our implementation, we are creating a small test game which we will make public when we feel it's in a good place. Eventually, as we gain more confidence in our solution, we will move stable functionality over from that game to amethyst network.
+
+Currently, amethyst network supports:
+- Reliable (ordered, sequenced) UDP.
+- Unreliable (sequenced) UDP.
+- Connect/Disconnect events from clients.
+- Automatic creation of `NetConnection` on client connect.
+- Automatic Fragmentation of big packets
+
+We use [laminar](https://github.com/amethyst/laminar) as the application layer communication protocol.
