+Description
+-----------
+
+sway was created to fill the need of an i3-like window manager for Wayland. The
+upstream i3 developers have no intention of porting i3 to Wayland, and projects
+proposed by others ended up as vaporware. Many thanks to the i3 folks for
+providing such a great piece of software, so good that your users would rather
+write an entirely new window manager from scratch that behaved _exactly_ like i3
+rather than switch to something else.
+
+You may run sway from an ongoing x11 session to run it within x. Otherwise, you
+can run sway on a tty and it will use your outputs directly.
+
+*Important note for nvidia users*: The proprietary nvidia driver does _not_ have
+support for Wayland as of 2015-08-17. Use nouveau.
+
+Commands
+--------
+
+If sway is currently running, you may run _sway [command]_ to send _command_ to
+the running instance of sway. The same commands you would use in the config file
+are valid here (see **sway**(5)). For compatability reasons, you may also issue
+commands with **sway-msg**(1) or **i3-msg**(1) (or even with **i3**(1), probably).
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+If _-c_ is not specified, sway will look in several locations for your config
+file. The default one is provided at /etc/sway/config. The suggested location for
+your config file is ~/.config/sway/config. ~/.sway/config will also work, and the
+rest of the usual XDG config locations are supported. If no sway config is found,
+sway will attempt to load an i3 config from all the config locations i3 supports.
+If still nothing is found, you will receive an error.
+
+For information on the config file format, see **sway**(5).
