+Summary: A portable, secure set of open source, modular IRC services
+%description
+Atheme is a portable, secure set of open source, modular IRC services released
+under the BSD license, designed to run on many IRCds.
+
+Unlike alternative packages, Atheme's core is minimalistic, providing only core
+functionality. Atheme is a complete services set, excluding features designed
+for oper abuse.
