+The Haskell Standard Library -- Random Number Generation
+========================================================
+[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/haskell/random.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/haskell/random)
+
+This library provides a basic interface for (splittable) random number generators.
+
+The API documentation can be found here:
+
+   http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random/docs/System-Random.html
+
+A module supplying this interface is required for Haskell 98 (but not Haskell
+2010). An older [version]
+(http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/haskell98/Random.html)
+of this library is included with GHC in the haskell98 package. This newer
+version, with compatible api, is included in the [Haskell Platform]
+(http://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html).
+
+Please report bugs in the Github [issue tracker] (https://github.com/haskell/random/issues) (no longer in the GHC trac).
