+Welcome to CodeIgniter
+======================
+
+CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for
+people who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to
+develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code
+from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed
+tasks, as well as a simple interface and logical structure to access
+these libraries. CodeIgniter lets you creatively focus on your project
+by minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.
+
+Who is CodeIgniter For?
+=======================
+
+CodeIgniter is right for you if:
+
+-  You want a framework with a small footprint.
+-  You need exceptional performance.
+-  You need broad compatibility with standard hosting accounts that run
+   a variety of PHP versions and configurations.
+-  You want a framework that requires nearly zero configuration.
+-  You want a framework that does not require you to use the command
+   line.
+-  You want a framework that does not require you to adhere to
+   restrictive coding rules.
+-  You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries like PEAR.
+-  You do not want to be forced to learn a templating language (although
+   a template parser is optionally available if you desire one).
+-  You eschew complexity, favoring simple solutions.
+-  You need clear, thorough documentation.
