 converse.js
 ===========
 
-Converse.js_ implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.
+Converse.js_ is a web based `XMPP/Jabber`_ instant messaging client.
 
 It is used by collective.xmpp.chat_, which is a Plone_ instant messaging add-on.
 
-The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, regardless of the backend.
-This is currently possible, except for adding new contacts, which still makes an XHR call to the (Plone) backend to fetch user info.
+The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, independent of any backend.
+You will however need an XMPP server to connect to, either your own, or a public one.
