== What is Decibel? ==

Decibel is to become a framework for real time communication services.

It is supposed to consist of a platform independent daemon (formerly known
as Houston) and desktop specific components for user interaction,
configuration, etc.

The Decibel daemon is a plain, non-graphical Qt application which is
supposed to get started when a user logs in. It is a policy daemon, which
opens communication channels for the user and starts components in response
to events triggered.


== Status ==

Decibel is not yet ready for the end user. In fact it is not yet
feature complete.

This version was released to raise awareness about the project, get
developer input and collect feedback on APIs, etc.
