# About Apache River
+
+Welcome to Apache River, a project furthering the development
+and advancement of Jini technology.
+
+Jini is a service oriented architecture that defines
+a programming model which both exploits and extends
+Java technology to enable the construction of secure,
+distributed systems consisting of federations of services
+and clients. Jini technology can be used to build
+adaptive network systems that are scalable, evolvable
+and flexible as typically required in dynamic
+computing environments.
+
+Apache River is an effort undergoing incubation at
+[The Apache Software Foundation](http://www.apache.org/)
+(ASF), sponsored by the
+[Apache Incubator](http://incubator.apache.org/) PMC.
+Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects
+until a further review indicates that the infrastructure,
+communications, and decision making process have stabilized
+in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
+While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection
+of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
+indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed
+by the ASF.
