 # Reactive Inter-Process Communication Library
 
+The intent of this project is to bring together Reactive Streams, RxJava, Reactor and similar efforts on networking libraries to create a “networking kernel” that can be the foundation of reactive, stream oriented IO for clients and servers supporting UDP, TCP, HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and WebSockets and a mechanism for pluggable codecs on top of all transports.
+
+The desired timeline is BETA (1.0.rc1) by September 2015 and GA (1.0 Final) by end of 2015.
+
+This would result in 3 layers of modules: API, Transport and Core.
