+What is it?
+===========
+
+pyStim uses the [Psychopy] library to create visual stimuli for use in
+our visual neuroscience experiments. It includes a graphic user
+interface and is capable of running at a minimum of 60 frames/sec and
+with the Texas Instruments LightCrafter 4500 DLP is capable of running
+in excess of 180 Hz. pyStim is designed to communicate with exterinal
+I/O devices (currently Labjack U3), which we use to trigger the
+aquisition of recording amplifiers.
+
+Latest Version
+==============
+
+The latest version can be found in the master branch on GitHub. The dev
+branch is experimental, but will usually contain new features and be
+mostly functional.
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+Documentation is available on github pages [ghpages]. The source of the
+documentation can be found in the code and in the /docs/source/ folder.
+Further documentation on Psychopy can be found on the psychopy
+[website][Psychopy].
+
+Quick Install
