-has zero knowledge of pasted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the 
-browser using 256 bits AES. 
 
-More information on the project page:
+This fork of ZeroBin refactored the source code to allow easier and cleaner 
-http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:zerobin
+extensions. It is still fully compatible to the original ZeroBin 0.19 data 
+storage scheme. Therefore such installations can be upgraded to this fork 
+without loosing any data.
+
+## What ZeroBin provides
+
+- As a server administrator you don't have to worry if your users post content
+  that is considered illegal in your country. You have no knowledge of any
+  pastes content. If requested or enforced, you can delete any paste from your
+  system.
+
+- Pastebin like system to store text documents, code samples, etc.
+
+- Encryption of data sent to server, even if it does not provide HTTPS.
+
+## What it doesn't provide
+
+- As a user you have to trust the server administrator, your internet provider 
+  and any country the traffic passes not to inject any malicious code.
+
+- The "password" to encrypt the paste is part of the URL. If you publicly post
+  a paste URL, everybody can read it.
+
+- A server admin might be forced to hand over access logs to the authorities.
+  ZeroBin encrypts your text and the discussion contents, but who accessed it
+  first might still be disclosed via such access logs.
+
+## Options
+
+Some features are optional and can be enabled or disabled in the [configuration
+file](https://github.com/elrido/ZeroBin/wiki/Configuration):
+
+- Discussions
+
+- Expiration times, including a "forever" and "burn after reading" option
+
+- Syntax highlighting using prettify.js, including 4 prettify themes
+
+- Templates: By default there is a "classic" and a bootstrap based theme, but it
+  is easy to adapt these to your own websites layout.
