 PolyVox - The voxel management and manipulation library
 =======================================================
+PolyVox is the core technology which lies behind our games. It is a fast, lightweight C++ library for the storage and processing of volumetric (voxel-based) environments. It has applications in both games and medical/scientific visualisation, and is released under the terms of the `zlib license <http://www.tldrlegal.com/l/ZLIB>`_.
 
-For installation instructions, please see INSTALL.txt
+PolyVox is a relatively low-level library, and you will need experience in C++ and computer graphics/shaders to use it effectively. It is designed to be easily integrated into existing applications and is independent of your chosen graphics API. For more details please see `this page <http://www.volumesoffun.com/polyvox-about/>`_ on our website.
