 Welcome to satella's documentation!
 ===================================
 
-Visit the project's page at GitHub_!
+
+Satella is an almost-zero-requirements Python 3.5+ library for writing
+server applications. It has arisen out of my requirements to have some classes or design patterns handy, and kinda
+wish-they-were-in-the-stdlib ones. especially those dealing with mundane but useful things. It also runs on PyPy, and
+most of it runs on Windows (the part not dealing with forking processes, you see).
+
+It's basically the stuff-I-wish-was-inside-Python-library of piotrmaslanka_.

+
+Satella uses semantic_ versioning 2.0 for your convenience.
+

+
+I believe you've already covered project's primary README at GitHub_. If not, please indulge.
