+Exposes server information over Pub/Sub per [XEP-0485: PubSub Server Information](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0485.html).
+
+The module announces support (used to 'opt-in', per the XEP) and publishes the name of the local domain via a Pub/Sub node. The published data
+will contain a 'remote-domain' element for inbound and outgoing s2s connections. These elements will be named only when the remote domain announces
+support ('opts in') too.
+
+**Known issues:**
+
+- [Issue #1841](https://issues.prosody.im/1841): In Prosody 0.12, this module conflicts with mod_server_contact_info (both will run, but it may affect the ability of some implementations to read the server/contact information provided). To work around this issue, the [mod_server_contact_info](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_server_contact_info) community module can be used.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Enable this module in the global or a virtual host.
+
+The default configuration requires the existence of a Pub/Sub component that uses the 'pubsub' subdomain of the host in which the module is enabled:
+
+    Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub"
+
+The module will create a node and publish data, using a JID that matches the XMPP domain name of the host. Ensure that this actor is an admin of the
+Pub/Sub service:
+
+    admins = { "example.org" }
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The Pub/Sub service on which data is published, by default, is a component addressed as the `pubsub` subdomain of the domain of the virtual host that
+the module is loaded under. To change this, apply this configuration setting:
+
+    pubsub_serverinfo_service = "anotherpubsub.example.org"
+
+The Pub/Sub node on which data is published is, by default, a leaf-node named `serverinfo`. To change this, apply this configuration setting:
+
+    pubsub_serverinfo_node = "foobar"
+
+To prevent a surplus of event notifications, this module will only publish new data after a certain period of time has expired. The default duration
+is 300 seconds (5 minutes). To change this simply put in the config:
+
+    pubsub_serverinfo_publication_interval = 180 -- or any other number of seconds
+
+To detect if remote domains allow their domain name to be included in the data that this module publishes, this module will perform a service
+discovery request to each remote domain. To prevent a continuous flood of disco/info requests, the response to these requests is cached. By default,
+a cached value will remain in cache for one hour. This duration can be modified by adding this configuration option:
+
+    pubsub_serverinfo_cache_ttl = 1800 -- or any other number of seconds
+
+Compatibility
+=============
+
+Incompatible with 0.11 or lower.
+
+Known Issues / TODOs
+====================
+
+The reported data does not contain the optional 'connection' child elements. These can be used to describe the direction of a connection.
+
+More generic server information (eg: user counts, software version) should be included in the data that is published.
