+    Shotwell Photo Manager
+    ----------------------
+    
+  * Introduction
+    
+    Shotwell is a digital photo manager designed for the GNOME desktop
+    environment.  It allows you to import photos from disk or camera,
+    organize them in various ways, view them in full-window or fullscreen
+    mode, and export them to share with others.
+    
+    Visit http://www.yorba.org/shotwell to read about the current state of
+    Shotwell's development and to make sure you're running the latest version.
+    
+
+  * Installation & Licensing
+    
+    Please consult the INSTALL and COPYING files for more information.
+    
+
+  * Quick Start
+    
+    There are three ways to import photos: via drag-and-drop, from a digital
+    camera, and from the File menu.
+    
+    * Drag-and-drop: Simply drag photos from your file manager and drop them
+    onto the Shotwell window.  You may drag files or directories.  The photos
+    will be imported into the library.
+    
+    * Camera: Connect your digital camera to your computer.  Shotwell will 
+    detect it and list it in the sidebar.  When you select the camera, Shotwell 
+    will load previews of each photo.  You may choose specific photos to 
+    import or to import them all.
+    
+    Shotwell uses gPhoto to communicate with digital cameras.  If your camera 
+    does not appear in Shotwell's sidebar or there is a problem importing
+    photos, visit http://www.gphoto.org to see if it is supported.
+    
+    * File menu: Select File -> Import From Folder ... and select a directory
+    from the chooser dialog box.  Shotwell will scan the directory and all
+    sub-directories for photo files and automatically import them.
+    
+    Once your photos are in Shotwell's library, you can view, edit, and export
+    them.  More features are planned, so check http://www.yorba.org/shotwell
+    regularly for updates.
