+GitHub plugin
+=============
+
+Integration between Gerrit and an external repository on GitHub.
+
+Integration points
+------------------
+
+Provides the basic integration points for working effectively
+with Gerrit as code-review tool for an existing repository hosted
+on GitHub:
+
+1. Authentication. (WIP)
+
+Users can login to Gerrit using the same username and credentials
+in GitHub. Gerrit login points to GitHub for generating the SSO token
+to be used for the code-review authenticated session.
+
+2. Push-Pull replication. (TODO)
+
+Existing GitHub repositories are automatically replicated to Gerrit
+for the purpose of performing code-review and pushing back changes
+once approved. Additionally to the standard Gerrit push replication,
+supports as well the ability to pull branches from remote GitHub
+repositories.
+
+3. Pull-request to Change. (TODO)
+
+Hooks into the GitHub pull-request mechanism to automatically create
+a Change in Gerrit submitted for review.
