+mate-desktop
+=============
+
+mate-desktop contains the libmate-desktop library, the mate-about
+program as well as some desktop-wide documents.
+
+The libmate-desktop library provides API shared by several applications
+on the desktop, but that cannot live in the platform for various
+reasons. There is no API or ABI guarantee, although we are doing our
+best to provide stability. Documentation for the API is available with
+gtk-doc.
+
+The mate-about program helps find which version of MATE is installed.
+
+You may download updates to the package from:
+
+   http://download.gnome.org/sources/mate-desktop/
+
+To discuss mate-desktop, you may use the desktop-devel-list mailing
+list:
+
+  http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+See the file 'INSTALL'. If you are not using a released version of
+mate-desktop (for example, if you checked out the code from git), you
+first need to run './autogen.sh'.
