+''' Roundup - issue tracking for knowledge workers.
+
+This is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
+command-line, web and e-mail interfaces.
+
+Roundup manages a number of issues (with properties such as
+"description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to (a) submit
+new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with
+other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the
+participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when
+issues are edited. 
+
+Roundup's structure is that of a cake::
+
+  _________________________________________________________________________
+ |  E-mail Client   |   Web Browser   |   Detector Scripts   |    Shell    |
+ |------------------+-----------------+----------------------+-------------|
+ |   E-mail User    |    Web User     |      Detector        |   Command   | 
+ |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+ |                         Roundup Database Layer                          |
+ |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+ |                          Hyperdatabase Layer                            |
+ |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+ |                             Storage Layer                               |
+  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The first layer represents the users (chocolate).
+The second layer is the Roundup interface to the users (vanilla).
+The third and fourth layers are the internal Roundup database storage
+  mechanisms (strawberry).
+The final, lowest layer is the underlying database storage (rum).
+
+These are implemented in the code in the following manner::
+
+  E-mail User: roundup-mailgw and roundup.mailgw
+     Web User: cgi-bin/roundup.cgi or roundup-server over
+               roundup.cgi.client and roundup.cgi.template
+     Detector: roundup.roundupdb and templates/<template>/detectors
+      Command: roundup-admin
+   Roundup DB: roundup.roundupdb
+     Hyper DB: roundup.hyperdb, roundup.date
+      Storage: roundup.backends.*
+
+Additionally, there is a directory of unit tests in "test".
+
+For more information, see the original overview and specification documents
+written by Ka-Ping Yee in the "doc" directory. If nothing else, it has a
+much prettier cake :)
