+Summary
+=======
+
+Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services 
development.
+It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services 
that work
+efficiently and seamlessly between many programming languages.  A 
language-neutral IDL
+is used to generate functioning client libraries and server-side handling 
frameworks.
+
+For More Information
+====================
+
+See the [Apache Thrift Web Site](http://thrift.apache.org/) for more 
information.
