-wmpus
-=====
-Wmpus is a window manager designed to run on both X11 and Windows, and possibly
-others.
+Getting started
+---------------
+* The [manual](manual) has usage information
+* On win32, wmpus works best with Putty 0.61
+
+Current features
+----------------
+Native support for X11 and MS Windows
+
+Simple code base (small number of files, no automake, etc)
+
+* Clean separation from the underlying windowing system
+* Very few external dependencies (libc, libx11 and xinerama for sys-x11)
+
+Tiling window management similar to [wmii]
+
+* Support for multiple monitors
+* Support for multiple desktops (i.e. tags)
+* No toolbars/statusbars, use [dzen] instead
