 ABOUT
 =====
-gnome-doc-utils is a collection of documentation utilities for the Gnome
-project.  Notably, it contains utilities for building documentation and
-all auxiliary files in your source tree, and it contains the DocBook
-XSLT stylesheets that were once distributed with Yelp.  Starting with
-Gnome 2.8, Yelp will require gnome-doc-utils for the XSLT.
+yelp-tools is a collection of scripts and build utilities to help create,
+manage, and publish documentation for Yelp and the web. Most of the heavy
+lifting is done by packages like yelp-xsl and itstool. This package just
+wraps things up in a developer-friendly way.

 ORGANIZATION
 ============
-test/
-	The test directory contains a number of tests for gnome-doc-utils.
-	Directories of the form testdocn, where n is a positive integer,
-	are skeleton source trees containing documentation, with the same
-	layout that would be used by actual projects.
-
-	The testdocs directory contains the unit tests from docbook-testdocs,
-	developed by Norm and Co. for the pan-galactic DocBook stylesheets.
-	An additional README file is in that directory, giving instructions
-	on extending or changing any of the files in gnome-doc-utils CVS.
-
-doc/
-	The doc directory contains documentation for gnome-doc-utils.  In
-	most cases, gnome-doc-utils is required to build its documentation.
-	Mechanisms are in place for bootstrapping.
+tools/
+        The tools directory contains scripts like yelp-build and yelp-check,
+        as well as the yelp.m4 file that provides autotools integration.
 
 xslt/
-	The xslt directory contains all of the XSLT in gnome-doc-utils.
-	Notably, the xslt/docbook directory contains the DocBook XSLT,
-	and xslt/gettext contains the XSLT gettext utility for translating
-	automatic text.
-   
-sandbox/
-	The sandbox directory is not DISTed, so it will only appear if you
-	have a CVS checkout.  It's a playground for new ideas.
-
-xml2po/
-	The xml2po directory contains the xml2po tool developed by Danilo
-	Segan for translation of arbitrary XML formats.  It is used by
-	gnome-doc-utils for DocBook translation.
-
-TESTING
-=======
-Under the test directory are a number of tests for gnome-doc-utils.  To
-test the build system (gnome-doc-utils.m4 and gnome-doc-utils.make), you
-can use any of the testdocn (for n a positive integer) directories.  These
-are set up as skeleton source trees, behaving exactly as a real project
-would.  Also, gnome-doc-utils uses itself to build its own documentation
-(under doc), so gnome-doc-utils itself is a test of the build tools.
-
-To test the DocBook stylesheets, use the test/testdocs directory.  These
-unit tests are from the docbook-testdocs package on docbook.sourceforge.net,
-developed by Norm and Co.  Simply typing make in that directory will build
-each test.  If the name of the test file is foo.001.xml, the output will be
-html/foo.001/foo.001.html.  Each test generally tests a small number of
-related DocBook elements.  Many of the features of DocBook or of the XSLT
-in gnome-doc-utils might not be tested by these.  Additional tests may
-be added; follow the instructions in test/testdocs/README for that.
-
-Also useful for testing the XSLT is to transform some large documents
-using it.  The Gnome User Guide and the Gnumeric Manual both serve as
-excellent test docs.
-
-HACKING
-=======
-Unlike most C programming, working on much of gnome-doc-utils really does
-involve isolated incremental improvements.  There's no way to give a short
-list of broad features in a TODO list.
-
-To work on the build tools (gnome-doc-utils.m4 and gnome-doc-utils.make),
-build the test docs and see what doesn't work.  gnome-doc-utils.make has
-a list of all the high-level targets that should be fully supported.
-
-To work on the DocBook XSLT, find an element that isn't implemented yet and
-implement it.  If you have XML Starlet (xmlstar.sourceforge.net) installed, 
-you can type 'make report.html' in the xslt/docbook/html directory to get
-a nice HTML report on what elements are implemented.  There is also a TODO
-file in this directory with a very succinct list of matches that need to be
-done that can't be caught by report.html.
-
-Note that the XSLT is documented inline with xsldoc, which is itself a part
-of gnome-doc-utils.  Feel free to work on xsldoc as well.  The documentation
-generated by xsldoc is included in the manual under doc/xslt.
-
-When in doubt, talk to Shaun McCance <shaunm gnome org>.  Never commit without
-permission, unless Shaun has told you otherwise.  Wash behind your ears.  Don't
-take candy from strangers.  Support independant musicicians.
-
-
+	The xslt directory contains small utility XSLT files that are used
+        by the various scripts shipped with yelp-tools. These stylesheets
+        are not intended to be built upon.
