+Essential Paxos provides basic implementations of the Paxos algorithm. The
+distinguishing characteristic of this implementation, as compared to other
+freely available and open-source implementations, is that this library is
+independent of application domains and networking infrastructures. Whereas most
+Paxos implementations are deeply and inextricably embedded within
+application-specific logic, this implementation focuses on encapsulating the
+Paxos algorithm within opaque and easily re-usable classes.
+
+This library provides an algorithmically correct Paxos implementation that may
+be used for educational purposes in addition to direct use in networked
+applications. This implementation is specifically designed to facilitate
+understanding of both the essential Paxos algorithm as well as the practical
+considerations that must be taken into account for real-world use.
