+# GNOME Shell Extensions
+
+GNOME Shell Extensions is a collection of extensions providing additional
+and optional functionality to GNOME Shell.
+
+Since GNOME Shell is not API stable, extensions work only against a very
+specific version of the shell, usually the same as this package (see
+"configure --version"). The extensions in this package are supported by GNOME
+and will be updated to reflect future API changes in GNOME Shell.
+
+The GNOME wiki has more information about [GNOME Shell Extensions][project-page],
+as well as some general information about [GNOME Shell][shell-page].
+
+Bugs should be reported to the GNOME [bug tracking system][bug-tracker].
+

+
+ * auto-move-windows
