+## A demo of Persona
+
+Mozilla Persona is a distributed authentication system for the web
+that lets users sign on using their existing email address without
+per-site usernames and passwords.  It's open, free, will become a
+standard, and is rigorously supported by the non-profit organziation
+that strives to make the web better for the humans that use it. 
+
+This repository contains a demonstration of persona written in HTML
+and node.js.
