-This repository contains the necessary templates and compatible
-[docker](docker/) images for deploying OpenWhisk on OpenShift.
+*This repository represents an earlier effort to enable deploying
+OpenWhisk on OpenShift 3 that is no longer being actively maintained.*
+
+The community is currently focusing on extending the
+[OpenWhisk Deploy Kube](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube/)
+project to also support deployment of OpenWhisk on OpenShift 4.
