+PyGopherd is a modern dynamic multi-protocol hierarchical information server
+with a pluggable modularized extension system, full flexible caching, virtual
+files and folders, and autodetection of file types -- all with support for
+standardized yet extensible per-document metadata.
+
+PyGopherd is designed to serve up files using the Gopher Internet protocol.
+With Gopher, you can mount a filesystem (viewing files and folders as if they
+were local), browse Gopherspace with a web browser, download files, and be
+interactive with searching.
+
+But this is only part of the story. The world of Gopher is more expansive than
+this. There are two major gopher protocols: Gopher0 (also known as RFC1436)
+and Gopher+. PyGopherd supports both.
+
+PyGopherd also fully natively supports HTTP, the protocol used on the Internet
+for most Web transactions. So, you can access a PyGopherd server using anything
+from a small, 20-line client in mobile phone to a massive 50-MB web browser.
