+The goal of this project is to create a configuration free p2p skype 
+replacement.
+
+Configuration free means that the user will simply have to open the program and 
+without any account configuration will be capable of adding people to his 
+friends list and start conversing with them.
+
+There are many so called skype replacements and all of them are either hard to 
+configure for the normal user or suffer from being much too centralized.
