+## Clojure-contrib has moved!
+
+To take advantage of the modularity allowed by git, and by tools such
+as maven and leiningen, Clojure-contrib has been factored into separate git
+projects and maven artifacts.
+
+This repository is kept online for historical reasons. For new
+development on Clojure-contrib, you should check out the following resources:
+
+* [List of projects](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Contrib+Projects)
+* [Clojure downloads](http://clojure.org/downloads)
+* [User mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/clojure)
+* [Dev mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/clojure-dev)
+* [Maven configuration](http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Maven+Settings+and+Repositories)
+
+If your favorite contrib isn't in a module yet, you [can help](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/How+to+Create+New+Contrib+Projects).
+
+## Clojure-contrib
+
+The user contributions library, clojure-contrib, is a collection of namespaces implementing features that may be useful to a large part of the Clojure community.
+
+Clojure-contrib is open source under the Eclipse Public License and is copyrighted by Rich Hickey and the various contributors.
+
+## Clojure-contrib Versions
+
+Versions of clojure-contrib are matched to versions of Clojure.
+
+* If you are using Clojure 1.0, use clojure-contrib 1.0.
+* If you are using Clojure 1.1, use clojure-contrib 1.1.
+* If you are using Clojure 1.2, use clojure-contrib 1.2, or the new [modular Contrib](http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Contrib+Projects) libraries.
+*  If you are using Clojure 1.3, use the new [modular Contrib]((http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Contrib+Projects) libraries.
+
+## Building "Old" Clojure-contrib
+
+If you downloaded a release distribution or pre-compiled JAR, you do NOT need to build anything.
+
+If you downloaded the sources from Github, you will need Apache Maven (2.0 or higher) to run the build.  See http://maven.apache.org/
+
+AFTER version 1.2.0, clojure-contrib is divided into many small modules.
+
+To build all the modules, run the following command in this directory:
+
+    mvn install
+
+This will compile and test all modules and store them in your local Maven repository cache (usually $HOME/.m2/repository).
+
+There is also an "uberjar" containing all compiled modules at ./modules/complete/target/complete-$VERSION-bin.jar
+
+Additional build commands are available:
+
+    mvn clojure:repl
+    To start a Clojure REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop)
+
+    mvn compile
+    To compile sources without building a JAR
+
+    mvn test
+    To run unit tests
+
+    mvn assembly:assembly
+    To build ZIP/tar distributions containing source and JARs
+
+To skip the testing phase when building, add "-Dmaven.test.skip=true"
+to the mvn command line.
+
+## Building Against Specific Released Clojure Versions
+
+You can specify -Dclojure.version=VERSION on the command line to select a different Clojure version.
+
+## Building Against a Custom Clojure JAR
+
+To build against a customized Clojure JAR, you can specify
+-Dclojure.jar=/absolute/path/to/clojure.jar on the command line.
