+Gorilla WebSocket is a [Go](http://golang.org/) implementation of the
 [WebSocket](http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455.txt) protocol.
 
-The project passes the server tests in the [Autobahn WebSockets Test

-## Features
+### Status
 
-- Send and receive ping, pong and close control messages.
-- Limit size of received messages.
-- Stream messages.
-- Specify IO buffer sizes.
-- Application has full control over origin checks and sub-protocol negotiation.
+The Gorilla WebSocket package provides a complete and tested implementation of
+the [WebSocket](http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455.txt) protocol. The
+package API is stable. 
 
-## Installation

+Note: The go.net io.Reader and io.Writer operate across WebSocket message
+boundaries. Read returns when the input buffer is full or a message boundary is
+encountered, Each call to Write sends a message. The Gorilla io.Reader and
+io.WriteCloser operate on a single WebSocket message.
