-The MonetDB Database System
-===========================
-
-The MonetDB database is developed by the CWI database research group
-(see http://www.monetdb.org/).
-
-Via the MonetDB project we have brought the MonetDB system in open source,
-where it is accessible at http://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/
-
-The MonetDB database system is a high-performance database kernel for
-query-intensive applications. The MonetDB kernel works together with an
-SQL frontend that is in a separate CVS module.
-
-If you got a source distribution, please compile and install MonetDB first,
-following the instructions in the file 'HowToStart.rst' (for Unix)
-or 'buildtools/doc/windowsbuild.rst' (for Windows).
