+Samba 4 is the ambitious next version of the Samba suite that is being
+developed in parallel to the stable 3.0 series. The main emphasis in
+this branch is full support for being a Active Directory domain controller.
+
+Samba 4 is currently not yet in a state where it is usable in production
+environments. The STATUS file aims to document what should and should not
+work.
+
+Those familiar with Samba 3 can find a list of user-visible changes
+since that release series in the NEWS file. A short guide to setting up
+Samba 4 can be found in the howto.txt file in this directory.
+
+Bugs can be filed at https://bugzilla.samba.org/. Please
+look at the STATUS file before filing a bug to see if a particular
+is supposed to work yet.
+
+Development and general discussion about Samba 4 happens mainly on
+the #samba-technical IRC channel (on irc.freenode.net) and
+the samba-technical mailing list (see http://lists.samba.org/ for
+details).
