+Contributing to Jetty
+=====================
+Thanks for your interest in this project.
+
+Project description
+--------------------
+Jetty is a lightweight highly scalable java based web server and servlet engine.  Our goal is to support web protocols like HTTP, HTTP/2, SPDY, and WebSocket in a high volume low latency way that provides maximum performance while retaining the ease of use and compatibility with years of servlet development.  Jetty is a modern fully async web server that has a long history as a component oriented technology easily embedded into applications while still offering a solid traditional distribution for webapp deployment.
