+SleekXMPP is an :ref:`MIT licensed <license>` XMPP library for Python 2.6/3.1+,
+and is featured in examples in
+`XMPP: The Definitive Guide <http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596521271>`_
+by Kevin Smith, Remko Tronçon, and Peter Saint-Andre. If you've arrived
+here from reading the Definitive Guide, please see the notes on updating
+the examples to the latest version of SleekXMPP.
+
+SleekXMPP's design goals and philosphy are:
+
+**Low number of dependencies**
+ Installing and using SleekXMPP should be as simple as possible, without
+ having to deal with long dependency chains.
+
+ As part of reducing the number of dependencies, some third party
+ modules are included with SleekXMPP in the ``thirdparty`` directory.
+ Imports from this module first try to import an existing installed
+ version before loading the packaged version, when possible.
+
+**Every XEP as a plugin**
+ Following Python's "batteries included" approach, the goal is to
+ provide support for all currently active XEPs (final and draft). Since
+ adding XEP support is done through easy to create plugins, the hope is
+ to also provide a solid base for implementing and creating experimental
+ XEPs.
+
+**Rewarding to work with**
+ As much as possible, SleekXMPP should allow things to "just work" using
+ sensible defaults and appropriate abstractions. XML can be ugly to work
+ with, but it doesn't have to be that way.
