+``svg.charts`` - Package for generating SVG Charts in Python
+============================================================
+
+.. contents::
+
+Status and License
+------------------
+
+``svg.charts`` is a port of the SVG::Graph Ruby package by Sean E. Russel.
+
+``jaraco.nxt`` is written by Jason R. Coombs.  It is licensed under an
+`MIT-style permissive license
+<https://svn.jaraco.com/jaraco/python/svg.charts/docs/license.txt>`_.
+
+You can install it with ``easy_install svg.charts``, or from the
+`subversion repository
+<https://svn.jaraco.com/jaraco/python/svg.charts#egg=svg.charts-dev>`_ with
+``easy_install svg.charts==dev``.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+``svg.charts`` has some examples (taken directly from the reference implementation)
+in `tests/testing.py <https://svn.jaraco.com/jaraco/python/svg.charts/tests/testing.py`.
+These examples show sample usage of the various chart types. They should provide a
+good starting point for learning the usage of the library.

-  On my system (Unbuntu gutsy):
+- upload released packages to sourceforge (can we automate this)?
-    python2.4 setup.py egg_info -RDb "" register bdist_egg upload
-    python2.5 setup.py egg_info -RDb "" sdist bdist_egg upload
