-# Swift-On-File
-Swift-On-File, formerly called Gluster-Swift, enables files and directories 
-created on any filesystem (that supports xattrs) to be accessed as objects 
-via the Swift API. 
+# Swift-on-File
+Swift-on-File, formerly called Gluster-Swift, is a Swift Object Server
+implementation that enables objects created using the Swift API to be accessed
+as files on a Posix filesystem.
+
+The main difference from the default Swift Object Server is that Swift-on-File
+stores objects following the same path hierarchy as that object's URL.
+On a vanilla openstack swift the object server will store the object following
+the mapping given by the Ring and its final storage location and filename are
+unknown to the user. In the case of Sof, the object will be stored in the
+configured filesystem volume with the same directory structure as the object´s
+URL.
+
+For example: for an object with URL: https://swift.example.com/v1/acc/cont/obj,
+would be stored in the following way:
+* Swift: /mnt/sdb1/2/node/sdb2/objects/981/f79/f566bd022b9285b05e665fd7b843bf79/1401254393.89313.data
+* SoF: /mnt/gluster-object/acc/cont/obj
+
+## Roadmap
+Swift-On-File is in a transition period. The project was recently renamed from
+Gluster-Swift to Swift-on-File to better represent its nature of a Swift backend
+that supports multiple Posix Filesystems, not just GlusterFS. It is also
+transitioning to become a Swift Storage Policy. While Gluster-Swift had to be
+deployed as its own cluster, SoF can be deployed as a storage policy on an
+existing Swift cluster. This is a tremendous change to the project as it opens
+up new possibilities of how SoF can be used.
+
+Our last stable [release](https://github.com/swiftonfile/swiftonfile/releases)
+was targetting the Swift Icehouse release. This was the last release of
+Gluster-Swift. The next release will target Juno, with support for storage 
+policies.
+
+Besides the work to support Storage Policies we also plan on adding support
+for other Filesystems (e.g., NFS) and also for enabling the access of objects
+through multiple protocols.
+ 
+To learn more about the history of Gluster-Swift and how Swift-On-File came
+to be, you can watch this presentation given at the Atlanta Openstack Summit: 
+[Breaking the Mold with Openstack Swift and GlusterFS](http://youtu.be/pSWdzjA8WuA).
