+This file gives an overview of the structure of the kmrml package.
+
+kmrml consists of the following:
+
+- kio_mrml: an ioslave that is able to contact an mrml daemon (i.e. the GIFT)
+            and transports the data from the daemon to its master (i.e. the 
+            MrmlPart) as XML (MRML, Multimedia Retrieval Markup Language)
+
+- MrmlPart: the konqueror-embeddable controller and view 
+
+- mrmlsearch: a small tool that is e.g. called from Konqueror's ContextMenu
+              "Search for similar images" to start an image query.
+
+- kcontrol/: a KDE Control Center module for configuring parts of the GIFT,
+             i.e. indexing directories, specifying GIFT hosts, etc.
+
+- server/: a kded module, i.e. a tiny little daemon, that can be told via
+           DCOP to start, restart upon failure and automatically/manually 
+           stop services. It is completely independent of GIFT/kmrml.
+           It is used to have one centralized place where the gift server
+           is started (ensuring this happens only once, restarting it upon
+           failure and stopping the gift after all kio_mrml instances 
+           have been killed.
+
+lib/: common stuff used by more than one module
