+s3ql: S3QL is a file system that stores all its data online using storage
+s3ql: services like Google Storage, Amazon S3, or OpenStack. S3QL
+s3ql: effectively provides a hard disk of dynamic, infinite capacity that
+s3ql: can be accessed from any computer with internet access running
+Linux, FreeBSD or OS-X.
+
+S3QL is a standard conforming, full featured UNIX file system that is
+conceptually indistinguishable from any local file system. Furthermore,
+S3QL has additional features like compression, encryption, data
+de-duplication, immutable trees and snapshotting which make it especially
+suitable for online backup and archival.
+
+S3QL is designed to favor simplicity and elegance over performance and
+feature-creep. Care has been taken to make the source code as readable and
+serviceable as possible. Solid error detection and error handling have
+been included from the very first line, and S3QL comes with extensive
+automated test cases for all its components.
