+
+1. What is KolourPaint?
+=======================
+
+KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE.
+
+It aims to be conceptually simple to understand; providing a level of
+functionality targeted towards the average user.  It's designed for daily
+tasks like:
+
+* Painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting"
+* Image Manipulation - editing screenshots and photos; applying effects
+* Icon Editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency
+
+It's not an unusable and monolithic program where simple tasks like drawing
+lines become near impossible.  Nor is it so simple that it lacks essential
+features like Undo/Redo.
+
+KolourPaint is opensource software written in C++ using the Qt and KDE
+libraries.
+
