-This is a Literate Programming fork of the original Emacs Starter Kit
-which is located at http://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/
+DEPRECATED
 
-This should provide a saner set of defaults than you get normally with
-Emacs. It's intended for beginners, but provides a good elisp
-initialization structure for all levels of users.
+This repository is now deprecated in favor of
+https://github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit.
 
-The main advantage of this Emacs Starter Kit are
-- better default settings
-- inclusion of many useful libraries
-- "literate" customization embedded in Org-mode files
-- an organizational directory structure
-- git provides for version control, backup, and sharing
+While bug fixes will still be applied, no new development will take
+place on this version of the starter kit.
 
-The latest version is at http://github.com/eschulte/emacs-starter-kit/
-
-For more information including use and instillation instructions see
-http://eschulte.github.com/emacs-starter-kit/
+The new starter kit has a number of benefits, including...
+- lighter weight, simpler and with less default settings
+- no usage of git submodules
+- no dependencies which need to be compiled
+  (i.e., you don't have to run make during instillation)
+- more modular, it is easier to load only those parts of the starter
+  kit you anticipate actually using
