+==========================================
+ Docutils: Python Documentation Utilities
+==========================================
+
+:Date: $Date$
+
+The purpose of the Docutils project is to create a set of tools for
+processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML,
+XML, and TeX.  Several sources will be supported:
+
+- Standalone files.
+
+- Inline documentation from Python modules and packages, extracted
+  with namespace context.
+
+- `Python Enhancement Proposals`__ (PEPs).
+
+  __ peps_
+
+- And others as discovered.
+
+
+Project Status
+==============
+
+The Docutils project will be the result of merging the
+reStructuredText__ parser into the `Python Docstring Processing
+System`__.  The merge is planned but hasn't happened yet.
+
+Docutils is currently just a reStructuredText parser with some extras.
+There is a lot of design and implementation work to do, which could
+greatly benefit from existing projects.  A joint effort would be very
+welcome.

+
+.. Specification
+   =============
+   
+   - `PEP 2xx: reStructuredText Standard Docstring Format`__ proposes a
+     standard markup syntax.
+   
+   - `PEP 257: Docstring Conventions`__ addresses docstring style and
+     touches on content.  [`PEP 257`__ in the `master repository`_]
+   
+   - `PEP 256: Docstring Processing System Framework`__ presents a
+     high-level generic processing proposal.  [`PEP 257`__ in the `master
+     repository`_]
+   
+   - `PEP 258: Docutils Design Specification__ documents design issues
+     and implementation details for Docutils (this project), a specific
+     docstring processing system.  [`PEP 257`__ in the `master repository`_]
