+Weboob is a project which provides a core library, backends and applications.
+
+The core library defines capabilities: features common to various websites. For
+example, http://www.youtube.com and http://www.dailymotion.com are both videos
+providers: Weboob defines the “ICapVideo” capability.
+
+Each backend interfaces a website and implements one or many of these
+capabilities. Backends can be configured, which means that the end-user can
+provide personal information to access the underlaying website (login/password
+for example).
+
+Applications offer the ability to the end-user to work with many backends in
+parallel, in a multi-threaded way. For example, one could search a video on
+many providers websites. Applications are toolkit-agnostic. They can use Gtk,
+Qt or text-only, more adapted to reuse data through pipes.
+
+The core library provides base classes which help the developer to write
+backends and applications.
+
+Weboob is written in Python and is distributed under the GPLv3 license.
