-GPGME Python Bindings Documentation
-===================================
-
-As the GPGME Python bindings exist in two worlds within the FOSS
-universe, it's always had a little issue with regards to its
-documentation and specifically to the format of it. The GnuPG
-Project, like much of the rest of the GNU Project, uses Texinfo to
-build its documentation. While the actual format used to write and
-edit that documentation is Org mode. Largely because most, if not
-all, of the GnuPG developers use GNU Emacs for much of their work.
-
-The Python world, however, utilises reStructuredText almost
-universally. This in turn is used by Sphinx or Docutils directly to
-build the documentation.
-
-Each has various advantages for their own ecisystems, but this part of
-the GnuPG effort is aimed at both sides. So, long story short, this
-documentation is provided as both Texinfo and reStructuredText files.
-
-This docs directory contains four main subdirectories:
-
- 1. meta
- 2. src
- 3. rst
- 4. texinfo
-
-The Meta directory is for docs that are not intended for distribution
-or are about the docs themselves. The sole exception being this
-README file.
-
-The Src directory is where the original edited files are, from which
-the following two formats are generated initially. Most, if not all,
-of these are written in Org Mode.
-
-The ReST directory contains reStructuredText files which have been
-converted to that format from the Org Mode files via Pandoc.
-
-The Texinfo directory contains Texinfo files which have been exported
-to that format from the Org Mode files by Org Mode itself within GNU
-Emacs.
-
-Those latter two directories should then be used by their respective
-build systems to produce the various output file formats they normally
-do. They should not spill out into this parent directory.
-Particularly since it is quite possible, perhaps even likely, that
-alternatives to both of them may be added to this parent documentation
-directory at some future point.
