-Radicale CalDAV and CardDAV server
-==================================
-
-The Radicale Project is a CalDAV (calendar) and CardDAV (contact) server.  It
-aims to be a light solution, easy to use, easy to install, easy to configure.
-As a consequence, it requires few software dependances and is pre-configured to
-work out-of-the-box.
-
-The Radicale Project runs on most of the UNIX-like platforms (Linux, BSD,
-MacOS X) and Windows.  It is known to work with Evolution, Lightning, iPhone
-and Android clients. It is free and open-source software, released under GPL
-version 3.
