-This is the source for a pre-alpha version of BIND 10.
+This is the source for the development version of BIND 10.
+
+BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
+interfaces, and DNS tools. BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9. BIND 10
+is written in C++ and Python and provides a modular environment
+for serving and maintaining DNS.
+
+BIND10-devel is new development leading up to the production
+BIND 10 release. It contains prototype code and experimental
+interfaces. Nevertheless it is ready to use now for testing the
+new BIND 10 infrastructure ideas. The Year 1 (Y1) deliverable of
+the five year plan is described here:
+
+        http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/Year1Deliverable
+
+This release includes the bind10 master process, msgq message bus,
+b10-auth authoritative DNS server, b10-cmdctl remote control daemon,
+b10-cfgmgr configuration manager, and a new libdns library.
+
+Documentation is included and also available via the BIND 10
+website at http://bind10.isc.org/
