@@ -6,18 +6,56 @@ Discordgo provides an almost complete low-level Golang interface to the Discord
 REST and Websocket API layers.  The majority of both of these interfaces are
 complete and I should have the remaining functions finished soon.
 
-At this point Discordgo is suitable for use with most projects including bots 
-or clients.  The function naming conventions and usage style should not change 
-in the future.  Function names are based primarily on the naming used by Discord 
-within their API calls.  Should Discord change their naming then Discordgo will 
-be updated to match it.
