+#Haskeline
+
+The Haskeline library provides a user interface for line input in command-line programs.
+This library is similar in purpose to readline, but since it is written in Haskell it is (hopefully)
+more easily used in other Haskell programs.
+
+##Links
+The latest release, as well as the API documentation, may be obtained from [Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline).
+
+The most recent development source code can be downloaded with:
+
+ git clone https://github.com/judah/haskeline
+
+Further documentation is also available at
+[http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/WikiDocumentation](http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/WikiDocumentation)
+
+
+##Features:
+
+ - Provides a [rich line editing interface](http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/KeyBindings).
+ - A `~/.haskeline` file allows customization of [preferences](http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/UserPrefs) and [custom key bindings](http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/CustomKeyBindings).
+ - Runs on POSIX-compatible systems, using the [terminfo](http://github.com/judah/terminfo) library to support non-ANSI terminals.
+ - Runs on Windows using MinGW.
+ - [Supports Unicode](http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/UnicodeSupport) cross-platform.
+ - History recall and incremental search.
+ - Custom tab completion functions which may run in an arbitrary monad.
