+
+Aspen is a filesystem dispatch library for Python web frameworks. Instead of
+using regular expressions, decorators, or object traversal, Aspen dispatches
+HTTP requests based on the natural symmetry of URL paths and filesystem paths.
+In the `immortal words`_ of Jeff Lindsay, "so like. a web server." Exactly! ;-)
+
+.. _immortal words: https://twitter.com/progrium/status/773694289033383937
+
+This is the documentation for the development version of the core Aspen
+library, describing its filesystem dispatch behavior regardless of the web
+framework you're using it with. For instructions on configuring Aspen with a
+specific web framework, see the docs for `django-aspen`_, `Flask-Aspen`_, or
+`Pando`_. See the `project homepage`_ for an overview.

+.. _Pando: http://pando.aspen.io/
+.. _project homepage: http://aspen.io/
+
+This version of Aspen has been tested with Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5, on both
+Ubuntu and Windows.
