+Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
+
+* Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
+* Split the work between multiple developers
+* Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any
+  modifications to the core source
+* Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
