+Papo is team collaboration platform composed of a suite of free and open source
+software made for communities and companies. It features chat messaging, file
+sharing and virtual workspaces for working online together.
+
+Papo improves on existing solutions by:
+
+1. offering glossy UI for the needs of modern users;
+2. being built on existing stabilished standards, enabling existing workflows
+ and infrastruture to interoperate, instead of creating yet another ad-hoc
+ messaging API;
+3. being 100% free-software, down to the server configuration files and its
+ acompanying guides on how to use, customize or self-host, eliminating all
+ forms of lock-in;
+4. offering a hosted option at `https://papo.im` for those who whish to pay for
+ a managed service that is as transparent as possible.
+
+Underneath all of this, is just plain old IRC. Not "a compatibility layer to
+IRC", just IRC. Most of "modern" functionalities are available via the "modern"
+option which implements IRCv3 plus a couple of extensions, and there's also a
+"classic" ircd option with traditional RFC 1459 capabilities which serves as a
+replacement to other traditional ircd implementations.
