X Keyboard Extension
--------------------
-The X Keyboard Extension essentially replaces the core protocol definition
-of the keyboard. The extension makes it possible to clearly and explicitly
-specify most aspects of keyboard behaviour on a per-key basis and to more
-closely track the logical and physical state of the keyboard. It also
-includes a number of keyboard controls designed to make keyboards more
-accessible to people with physical impairments.
+The X Keyboard (XKB) Extension essentially replaces the core protocol

-There are five types of components in the server database corresponding to
-five xkb symbolic names (symbols, geometry, keycodes, compat, and types)
-which determine the keyboard behaviour. These five components can be
-combined into a resulting keyboard mapping using the 'rules' component.

-For information on how to replace an existing XKB configuration database
-with XKeyboardConfig, see the 'docs/HOWTO.transition' file.
+This project provides a consistent, well-structured, frequently
+released, open source database of keyboard configuration data. The
+project is targeted to XKB-based systems.

+For information on how to replace an older XKB configuration database
+with the one provided by this project, see:
