+## Features
+
+Apache NiFi - MiNiFi is a complementary data collection approach that
supplements the core tenets of [NiFi](http://nifi.apache.org/) in dataflow
management, focusing on the collection of data at the source of its creation.
+
+Specific goals for MiNiFi are comprised of:
+- small and lightweight footprint
+- central management of agents
+- generation of data provenance
+- integration with NiFi for follow-on dataflow management and full chain
of custody of information
+
+Perspectives of the role of MiNiFi should be from the perspective of the
agent acting immediately at, or directly adjacent to, source sensors, systems,
or servers.
+
+## Requirements
+* JDK 1.8 or higher
+* Apache Maven 3.1.0 or higher
+
+## Getting Started
+
+- Read through the [quickstart guide for
development](http://nifi.apache.org/quickstart.html).
