+FlatBuffers Version 1.0
+
+# Welcome to FlatBuffers!
+
+FlatBuffers is a serialization library for games and other memory constrained
+apps. Go to our [landing page][] to browse our documentation.
+
+FlatBuffers allows you to directly access serialized data without
+unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards
+compatibility. FlatBuffers can be built for many different systems (Android,
+Windows, OS X, Linux), see `docs/html/index.html`
+
+Discuss FlatBuffers with other developers and users on the
+[FlatBuffers Google Group][]. File issues on the [FlatBuffers Issues Tracker][]
+or post your questions to [stackoverflow.com][] with a mention of
+**flatbuffers**.
+
+For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked.
+This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string
+(flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from
+consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect
+your application at all.  We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers
+is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open
+source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if
+you would leave it in.
