+### Mozilla overlay
+###
+
+1: Purpose of this overlay
+
+ The purpose of this overlay is to provide alpha & beta ebuilds for
+ Mozilla's software before being released. This helps not only the
+ Gentoo maintainers, but also upstream, to weed out any bugs in the
+ build system or ebuilds before a release is made to public. Or to
+ experiment with the official ebuilds without causing breakage to
+ main tree users.
+
+
+2: Compatibility with main tree
+
+ While the overlay doesn't have to adhere to main tree's QA
+ standards, it'd be most convenient in tryint to write the ebuilds
+ by keeping the main tree compatibility in mind. This way,
+ long-term, the ebuilds will be much more maintainable.
+
+
+3: Access
+
+ All members of the Gentoo's Mozilla project have commit access to
+ this repository. For other interested parties, access can be
+ requested via bugzilla, or by e-mailing the project directly.
