-=======
+About
+=====
+OpenTag is an open-source RTOS that implements the DASH7 standard for wireless sensor networking and M2M comms.  
+DASH7 is a wireless standard that was borne out of the US Military, and it is designed for *extreme* low-power and 
+low-latency wireless communication, so it is great for communication between moving things or for anything that can 
+benefit from a lower power requirement.  DASH7 is also designed to finally eliminate "Application Profiles" as it 
+introduces a filesystem and data methodology not available to any other WSN/M2M/IoT standard.  Most DASH7 devices 
+can be re-mapped over-the-air to take-on vastly different applications (sort of like the scene in "The Matrix" where 
+Trinity learns to fly a helicopter).
+
+OpenTag was created and is maintained by JP Norair.  Norair also invented DASH7 during the same time, so there is a 
+high degree of synergy between the standard and the implementation.  Do not be fooled by the small size: OpenTag is a 
+full-featured, real-time exokernel with a large API and library.  It is capable of communicating with native DASH7 
+peers as well as UDP, SCTP, and NDEF connections.
+
+OpenTag is designed to run on low-power microcontrollers.  On the MSP430, a typical endpoint project might require 
+16-24KB ROM (Flash) and 1-2KB RAM.  For gateway or router projects, a typical project MSP430 project is 20-32KB ROM 
+and 2-4KB RAM.  Cortex M projects are typically about 12% larger.  Officially, there is no roadmap to support 
+non-MSP430 or non-Cortex-M microcontrollers, but OpenTag is very portable, and there are community projects to 
+port to, at least, AVR8 and PIC24.

+The Code
+========
 This is the OpenTag Mainline Distribution.  It is maintained by JP Norair, 
-the creator of OpenTag and primary author of the DASH7 wireless specification.
+the creator of OpenTag and inventor of the DASH7 wireless specification.
+The Haystack Distribution of OpenTag (HDO) is a contributory distribution 
+of this distribution.  (http://www.haystacktechnologies.com)
