+MySQLdb1
+========
+
+This is the legacy (1.x) version of MySQLdb. While it is still being
+maintained, there will not be a lot of new feature development. 
+
+[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/farcepest/MySQLdb1.png)](http://travis-ci.org/farcepest/MySQLdb1)
+
+TODO
+----
+
+* A bugfix 1.2.4 release
+* A 1.3.0 release that will support Python 2.7-3.3
+* The 2.0 version is being renamed [moist][] and is heavily refactored.
+
+Projects
+--------
+
+* [MySQLdb-svn][]
+
+	This is the old Subversion repository located on SourceForge.
+	It has all the early historical development of MySQLdb through 1.2.3,
+	and also is the working repository for ZMySQLDA. The trunk on this
+	repository was forked to create the [MySQLdb2][] repository.
+
+* [MySQLdb1][]
+
+	This is the new (active) git repository.
+	Only updates to the 1.x series will happen here.
+
+* [MySQLdb2][]
+
+	This is the now obsolete Mercurial repository for MySQLdb-2.0
+	located on SourceForge. This repository has been migrated to the
+    [moist][] repository.
