-## Running Tests
-
-first:
+## Connect 3.0
 
-    $ npm install -d
+Connect 3.0 is in progress in the `master` branch. The main changes in Connect are:
 
-then:
+- Middleware will be moved to their own repositories in the [expressjs](http://github.com/expressjs) organization
+- All node patches will be removed - all middleware _should_ work without Connect and with similar frameworks like [restify](https://github.com/mcavage/node-restify)
+- Node `0.8` is no longer supported
+- The website documentation has been removed - view the markdown readmes instead
 
-    $ make test
