+This package provides tagged workspaces in Emacs, similar to workspaces in
+windows managers such as Awesome and XMonad (and somewhat similar to multiple
+desktops in Gnome or Spaces in OS X).
+
+perspective.el provides multiple workspaces (or "perspectives") for each Emacs
+frame. This makes it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost
+in all the buffers.
+
+Each perspective is composed of a window configuration and a set of buffers.
+Switching to a perspective activates its window configuration, and when in a
+perspective only its buffers are available by default.
+
+It's recommended that you install perspective.el from [Marmalade][] using `M-x
+package-install`. Alternately, you may put it in your load path and run
+`(require 'perspective)`.
