-Gitalist - a transitional project to convert gitweb.cgi to a Catalyst app.
+NAME
+    Gitalist - A modern git web viewer
 
-The idea behind this project is to move gitweb.cgi away from a single
-monolithic CGI script and into a modern Catalyst app. Fortunately this is not
-as daunting as it might seem at first as gitweb.cgi follows an MVC type
-structure. Once gitweb.cgi has been suitably Catalysed then it can move from
-being "this was once gitweb.cgi" to a project of its own (hence the
-"transitional" in the description).
+SYNOPSIS
+        script/gitalist_server.pl
 
-As it stands Gitalist is very much in its infancy and hasn't got far
-beyond a layout template and a single controller.
+INSTALL
+    As Gitalist follows the usual Perl module format the usual approach for
+    installation should work e.g
 
-USAGE
+      perl Makefile.PL
+      make
+      make test
+      make install
 
-To get Gitalist up and running just set projectroot & repo_dir (one in
-the same unfortunately at this point) in gitalist.conf to point to the
-directory that contains your repositories. With that done just run:
+    If you're running a git checkout of Gitalist then you'll additionally
+    need the author modules.
 
-  perl script/gitalist_server.pl
+DESCRIPTION
+    Gitalist is a web frontend for git repositories based on gitweb.cgi and
+    backed by Catalyst.
 
-DEPENDENCIES
+  History
+    This project started off as an attempt to port gitweb.cgi to a Catalyst
+    app in a piecemeal fashion. As it turns out, thanks largely to Florian
+    Ragwitz's earlier effort, it was easier to use gitweb.cgi as a template
+    for building a new Catalyst application.
