+ Description
+=============
+
+The code is organized as follow:
+
+``pygpibtoolkit`` is the main python package directory, holding
+generic GPIB stuffs. A GPIB controller is a class responsible for
+managing the communication with the GPIB device plugged in the
+computer. For now, the only GPIB controller is the Prologix one,
+defined in the ``pygpibtoolkit.prologix`` module.

+ Presentation
+==============
+
+pygpibtoolkit_ is a Python_ toolkit for talking with GPIB devices. It consist
+in a set of python modules (low-level and some more high-level) in
+order to ease writing python code to play with GPIB devices.
+There are also some utility commands written using this library.
+
+The aim of the project is to have an infrastructure that make it easy
+to write code to command/interact with GPIB-controlled devices, and,
+as a corrolary, make it easy to write "description" code for specific
+test equipments.
+
+Features
+========
+
+- Control GPIB devices using cheap Prologix_ USB-GPIB devices using a
+  "high" level API; some other GPIB backends could be implemented, but
+  I for now only have a Prologix USB bundle...
+
+- A simple (and incomplete) GPIB plotter is available. 
+
+- Infrastructure to "easily" create description of a specific test
+  equipment.
+
+Known test equipment
+====================
+
+For now, the following test equipment have been (partially)
+implemented:
+
+- HP 3562A/3563A Dynamic Signal Analyzer
+- Simple GPIB plotter
+
+The devices I should implement soon (well, ASAP):
+
+- HP 8904A Signal Synthetizer
+- HP ???? Meter
