+mate-panel
+===========
+
+mate-panel contains the MATE panel, the libmate-panel-applet library and
+several applets:
+
+  + the MATE panel is the area on your desktop from which you can run
+    applications and applets, and perform other tasks.
+
+  + the libmate-panel-applet library allows to develop small applications
+    which may be embedded in the panel. These are called applets.
+    Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc.
+
+  + the applets supplied here include the Workspace Switcher, the Window
+    List, the Window Selector, the Notification Area, the Clock and the
+    infamous 'Wanda the Fish'.
