 NFD is developed by a community effort.  Although the first release was mostly done by the
 members of [NSF-sponsored NDN project team](http://named-data.net/project/participants/),
 it already contains significant contributions from people outside the project team (for

 NFD will keep evolving in three aspects: improvement of the modularity framework, keeping
 up with the NDN protocol spec, and addition of other new features. We hope to keep the
-modular framework stable and lean, allowing researchers to implement and experiment
-with various features, some of which may eventually work into the protocol spec.
-
-The design and development of NFD benefited from our earlier experience with
-[CCNx](http://www.ccnx.org) software package.  However, NFD is not in any part derived from
-CCNx codebase and does not maintain compatibility with CCNx.

-Binary release
---------------
-
-As of release 0.1.0, we are providing NFD binaries for the supported platforms, which are
-the preferred installation method of NFD:
-
-- [Ubuntu 12.04, 13.10, and 14.04](http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/FAQ.html#how-to-start-using-ndn-ppa-repository-on-ubuntu-linux)
-
-- [OSX 10.8, 10.9 with MacPorts](http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/FAQ.html#how-to-start-using-ndn-macports-repository-on-osx)
-
-Next releases would include support for other platforms.  Please send us feedback on the
-platforms you're using, so we can prioritize our goals.  We would also appreciate if
-someone can provide help with packaging the current NFD release for other platforms.
-
-Besides simplicity of installation, the binary release includes automatic initial
-configuration and platform-specific tools to automatically start NFD and related daemons.
-In particular, on OSX NFD is controlled using
-[launchd](https://github.com/named-data/NFD/tree/master/contrib/osx-launchd) and on Ubuntu
-using [upstart](https://github.com/named-data/NFD/tree/master/contrib/upstart) mechanisms.
-In both cases, `nfd-start` and `nfd-stop` scripts are convenience wrappers for launchd and
-upstart.
-
-Source releases

-The source code and source-code installation instructions are always available on NFD's homepage:

-- [Getting Started with NFD](http://named-data.net/doc/NFD/current/getting-started.html)
