 ======
 
-This is a Scrapy project to scrape websites from public web directories.
+Deprecation notice (March 2017)
+===============================
 
-This project is only meant for educational purposes.
+**This project is now deprecated.**
 
-Items
-=====
+http://dmoz.org is no more and Scrapy's tutorial has been re-written
+against http://quotes.toscrape.com/.
 
-The items scraped by this project are websites, and the item is defined in the
-class::
-
-    dirbot.items.Website
-
-See the source code for more details.
-
-Spiders
-=======
-
-This project contains one spider called ``dmoz`` that you can see by running::
-
-    scrapy list
-
-Spider: dmoz
-------------
-
-The ``dmoz`` spider scrapes the Open Directory Project (dmoz.org), and it's
-based on the dmoz spider described in the `Scrapy tutorial`_
-
-This spider doesn't crawl the entire dmoz.org site but only a few pages by
-default (defined in the ``start_urls`` attribute). These pages are:
-
-* http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Books/
-* http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Resources/
-
-So, if you run the spider regularly (with ``scrapy crawl dmoz``) it will scrape
-only those two pages.

-=========
-
