+# ScalyMUCK	Version 3.5.0
+
+ScalyMUCK is multi-user chat kingdom software written for Python 2.7 that started life as a pet project of mine to work
+on when there was nothing much else of interest to be doing. It eventually grew into a full-fledged server implementation
+whose capabilities rival that of other MUCK servers with features such as using a module based architecture for mod 
+support, usage of SQLAlchemy for robust database support for SQLite and MySQL and usage of Blinker for event emitting
+and receiving.
+
+For installation & usage instructions among other information,
+please visit the [wiki](https://github.com/Ragora/ScalyMUCK/wiki).
