+# VOLTTRON
+
+This repository is for the current production VOLTTRON. We are working on VOLTTRON 10 (modular) which is available under 
+github at https://github.com/eclipse-volttron/.  The modular version of VOLTTRON will help ease deployment and support 
+flexible deployment where in only required agents/applications can be installed, thereby simplifying setup and upgrade 
+steps for the end user. The VOLTTRON team are currently working on porting agents from monolithic VOLTTRON to the 
+modular version of VOLTTRON. To know more about modular VOLTTRON, please visit our new documentation site available 
+at https://eclipse-volttron.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. We would love for you to try it out and give us early 
+feedback. Also, until our work on modular VOLTTRON is completed, please continue cloning and using this 
+repository for your production systems.
 
 VOLTTRON™ is an open source platform for distributed sensing and control. The
