@@ -8,112 +8,42 @@ A Python client driver for Apache Cassandra.  This driver works exclusively
 with the Cassandra Query Language v3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's native
 protocol.  As such, only Cassandra 1.2+ is supported.
 
-**Warning**
-
-This driver is currently under heavy development, so the API and layout of
-packages, modules, classes, and functions are subject to change.  There may
-also be serious bugs, so usage in a production environment is *not*
-recommended at this time.

-Features to be Added
---------------------
-* C extension for encoding/decoding messages
-* Twisted, gevent support
-* Python 3 support
-* IPv6 Support
-
 Installation
 ------------
-If you would like to use the optional C extensions, please follow
-the instructions in the section below before installing the driver.
-
 Installation through pip is recommended::
 
-    $ pip install cassandra-driver --pre
-
-If you want to install manually, you can instead do::
-
-    $ pip install futures scales blist # install dependencies
-    $ python setup.py install
-
-C Extensions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-By default, two C extensions are compiled: one that adds support
-for token-aware routing with the Murmur3Partitioner, and one that
-allows you to use libev for the event loop, which improves performance.
-
-When running setup.py, you can disable both with the ``--no-extensions``
-option, or selectively disable one or the other with ``--no-murmur3`` and
-``--no-libev``.
-
-To compile the extenions, ensure that GCC and the Python headers are available.
-
-On Ubuntu and Debian, this can be accomplished by running::
-
-    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
-
-On RedHat and RedHat-based systems like CentOS and Fedora::
+    $ pip install cassandra-driver
 
-    $ sudo yum install gcc python-devel
+For more complete installation instructions, see the
+`installation guide <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/installation.html>`_.
 
-On OS X, homebrew installations of Python should provide the necessary headers.
+Documentation
+-------------
+All documentation for the python driver, including installation details, API documentation,
+and a Getting Started guide, can be found `here <http://datastax.github.io/python-driver/index.html>`_.
 
-libev support
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The driver currently uses Python's ``asyncore`` module for its default
-event loop.  For better performance, ``libev`` is also supported through
-a C extension.
+Reporting Problems
+------------------
+Please report any bugs and make any feature requests on the
+`JIRA <https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/PYTHON>`_ issue tracker.
 
-If you're on Linux, you should be able to install libev
-through a package manager.  For example, on Debian/Ubuntu::
+If you would like to contribute, please feel free to open a pull request.
 
-    $ sudo apt-get install libev4 libev-dev
-
-On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora::
-
-    $ sudo yum install libev libev-devel
-
-If you're on Mac OS X, you should be able to install libev
-through `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`_. For example, on Mac OS X::
-
-    $ brew install libev
-
-If successful, you should be able to build and install the extension
-(just using ``setup.py build`` or ``setup.py install``) and then use
-the libev event loop by doing the following:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    >>> from cassandra.io.libevreactor import LibevConnection
-    >>> from cassandra.cluster import Cluster
-
-    >>> cluster = Cluster()
-    >>> cluster.connection_class = LibevConnection
-    >>> session = cluster.connect()
-
-Compression Support
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Compression can optionally be used for communication between the driver and
-Cassandra.  There are currently two supported compression algorithms:
-snappy (in Cassandra 1.2+) and LZ4 (only in Cassandra 2.0+).  If either is
-available for the driver and Cassandra also supports it, it will
-be used automatically.
-
-For lz4 support::
-
-    $ pip install lz4
-
-For snappy support::
+Getting Help
+------------
+Your two best options for getting help with the driver are the
+`mailing list <https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/#!forum/python-driver-user>`_
+and the IRC channel.
 
-    $ pip install python-snappy
+For IRC, use the #datastax-drivers channel on irc.freenode.net.  If you don't have an IRC client,
+you can use `freenode's web-based client <http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#datastax-drivers>`_.
 
-(If using a Debian Linux derivative such as Ubuntu, it may be easier to
-just run ``apt-get install python-snappy``.)
