+Quassel IRC for Qtopia - Release Notes
+======================================
+
+We provide a Quassel IRC client that can be run on mobile devices running
+Trolltech's Qtopia. The name of this client version has not yet been
+determined; we like QuasselTopia, Quassel IRC Mobile Edition or maybe
+something else. We'll call it QuasselTopia here.
+
+QuasselTopia has only been tested with the Trolltech Greenphone. We sort of
+rely on its features being available, and we assume a screensize of 240x320.
+Of course, QuasselTopia might well run on other Qtopia-enabled devices as
+well; it's just not tested yet.
+
+Note that QuasselTopia is just the client; it can't do IRC by itself. You'll
+need a Quassel core running on some server or PC for the phone to connect to.
+
+Also, in its current state, QuasselTopia cannot do much except for connecting
+to a core and displaying the buffers you are in. Oh, and chatting of course.
+But you cannot change any settings, create/edit identities or networks,
+you can't even connect to a network from the Greenphone. So in order to test
+QuasselTopia, it's a good idea to have a desktop Quassel client connected
+at the same time, so that you can do these things from your PC.
+
+QuasselTopia thus is in a very early state, merely a proof of concept rather
+than something for day-to-day use. It shows already though that a mobile
+Quassel version is feasible and usable, and QuasselTopia will evolve together
+with the desktop version.
+
+We still hope you have fun!
+
+Please refer to INSTALL.Qtopia for installation information.
+
+Thanks,
+~ The Quassel IRC Team
