+# QUICHE
+
+QUICHE (QUIC, Http/2, Etc) is Google's implementation of QUIC and related
+protocols.  It powers Chromium as well as Google's QUIC servers and some other
+projects.
+
+The code is currently in process of being moved from
+https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/net/third_party/ into this repository.
+Please excuse our appearance while we're under construction.
