+Normandy Services
+=================
+The Normandy Client relies on several external services for correct operation.
+
+Normandy Server
+---------------
+This is the place where recipes are created, edited and approved. Normandy
+Client interacts with it to get an index of services, and to fetch extensions
+and their metadata for add-on studies and rollout.
+
+Remote Settings
+---------------
+This is the primary way that recipes are loaded from the internet by
+Normandy. It manages keeping the local list of recipes on the client up to
+date and notifying Normandy Client of changes.
+
+Classify Client
+---------------
+This is a service that helps Normandy with filtering. It determines the
+region a user is in, based on IP. It also includes an up-to-date time and
+date. This allows Normandy to perform location and time based filtering
+without having to rely on the local clock.
