47     About SME Server
48     ================
49    
50     SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
51 wellsi 1.4 enterprises.
52 wellsi 1.2
53 wellsi 1.5 SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
54     is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
55 wellsi 1.2 However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
56     meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.
57    
58     As such, we ask for a small donation to offset costs and fund further
59     development.
60    
61 wellsi 1.4 Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate.
62 wellsi 1.2
63 wellsi 1.3 Thanks and a plea for help
64     ==========================
65    
66     The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
67 wellsi 1.14 themselves with this release. At this stage in development the role
68 wellsi 1.5 of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and
69     quality of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all
70     levels of users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw
71 wellsi 1.6 the developers attention to, insufficiently transparent system design,
72     up to seasoned and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug
73     triage and verification testing needs lots of community involvement;
74     please try to spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's
75     future.
76 wellsi 1.3
77 wellsi 1.9 This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core,
