+
+### Examples
+
+The general idea here is to use this to create a profile,
+and that profile will have one user, and one group to start with.
+That profile will contain the founders keypair for the group,
+so protect the profile as it contains the group's secret key.
+
+Then you use this profile to invite yourself to be a moderator,
+by providing the your public key of the device you want to use to
+moderate the group with the ```---group_moderator``` cmdline arg.

+
+### Future Directions
+
+1. It's intended as a IRC->Tox NGC gateway but it could work the other way round.
+2. It could be a plugin under  <https://git.macaw.me/emdee/toxygen>
+   which would broaden the range of callbacks that could be supported.
+3. It could be a gateway to an existing NGC group with an invite bot.
