+===
+Wat
+===
+
+Mmstats is a way to expose and read (slurpstats.py) diagnostic/statistical
+values for applications.
+
+-----
+Goals
+-----
+
+* Separate publishing/writing library from consuming/reading tools
+* Platform/language independent (a Java writer can be read by a Python tool)
+* Predictable performance impact for writers via:
+** No locks (1 writer per thread)
+** No syscalls
+** All in userspace
+** Reading has no impact on writers
+* Optional persistent (writer can sync anytime)
+* 1-way (Publish/consume only; mmstats are not management extensions)
+
