 # matrix-react-sdk
 
-This is a react-based SDK for inserting a Matrix chat/voip client into a web page.
-
-This package provides the React components needed to build a Matrix web client
-using React. It is not useable in isolation, and instead must be used from
-a 'skin'. A skin provides:
-
--   Customised implementations of presentation components.
--   Custom CSS
--   The containing application
--   Zero or more 'modules' containing non-UI functionality
-
-As of Aug 2018, the only skin that exists is
-[`vector-im/element-web`](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/); it and
-`matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk` should effectively
-be considered as a single project (for instance, matrix-react-sdk bugs
-are currently filed against vector-im/element-web rather than this project).
+## matrix-react-sdk is now actively maintained at [element-hq/matrix-react-sdk](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-react-sdk)
