+Server News
+===
+
+Simple server news mod by Shara RedCat.
+
+This displays a news formspec when the player joins. To set the news text make 
+a file named news.txt in this mod's directory. The contents of this file will 
+display as the news. When changing the contents of the file, there is no need 
+to restart the server for it to update in game.
+
+Players can also type /news to display the formspec at any time.
+
+Players with the news_bypass privilege will not see the formspec when they 
+sign in, but can still use the /news command.
