+Inyoka Legacy
+=============
+
+This is the formerly called “inyoka-ng” project that was set out to be more dynamic and extensible than the original Inyoka Project.
+
+**This represents legacy code that is not actively maintained!**
+
+The application mainly provides:
+
+* A comprehensive component based extension system
+* Example implementations with a Newssystem, Pastebin, Buletin Board and a Calendar.
+* A lot of utilities and reusable components
