+libgweather
+===========
+
+libgweather is a library to access weather information from online
+services for numerous locations.
+
+libgweather isn't supported in the devel platform, which means OS vendors
+won't guarantee the API/ABI long-term, but authors of open source apps
+should feel free to use libgweather as users can always recompile against
+a new version.
+
+To use libgweather in your code, you need to define the
+GWEATHER_I_KNOW_THIS_IS_UNSTABLE preprecessor symbol, e.g. by adding
+-DGWEATHER_I_KNOW_THIS_IS_UNSTABLE to your CFLAGS.
+
+Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc.
+
+You may download updates to the package from:
+
+   http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgweather/
+
+To discuss libgweather, you may use the desktop-devel-list mailing list:
+
+  http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+See the file 'INSTALL'. If you are not using a released version of
+libgweather (for example, if you checked out the code from git), you
+first need to run './autogen.sh'.
