+-------------------------
+Development on Setuptools
+-------------------------
+
+Setuptools is maintained by the Python community under the Python Packaging
+Authority (PyPA) and led by Jason R. Coombs.
+
+This document describes the process by which Setuptools is developed.
+This document assumes the reader has some passing familiarity with
+*using* setuptools, the ``pkg_resources`` module, and EasyInstall.  It
+does not attempt to explain basic concepts like inter-project
+dependencies, nor does it contain detailed lexical syntax for most
+file formats.  Neither does it explain concepts like "namespace
+packages" or "resources" in any detail, as all of these subjects are
+covered at length in the setuptools developer's guide and the
+``pkg_resources`` reference manual.
+
+Instead, this is **internal** documentation for how those concepts and
+features are *implemented* in concrete terms.  It is intended for people
+who are working on the setuptools code base, who want to be able to
+troubleshoot setuptools problems, want to write code that reads the file
+formats involved, or want to otherwise tinker with setuptools-generated
+files and directories.
+
+Note, however, that these are all internal implementation details and
+are therefore subject to change; stick to the published API if you don't
+want to be responsible for keeping your code from breaking when
+setuptools changes.  You have been warned.
