+INTRODUCTION
+============
+
+Vebugger is yet another debugger frontend plugin for Vim, created because I
+wasn't happy with the other debugger plugins I found. Vebugger currently
+supports:
+
+ * Tracking the currently executed command in the source code
+ * Debugger flow commands - step-in, set-over, set-out and continue
+ * Breakpoints management
+ * Evaluating expressions in the current executed scope
+ * Messing with the program's state(changing values, calling functions)
+
+Vebugger is built as a generic framework for building frontends for
+interactive shell debugger, and comes with implementations for:
+
+ * GDB - doesn't need introdcution...
+ * JDB - a Java debugger
+ * PDB - a Python module for debugging Python scripts
+ * RDebug - a Ruby command line option for debugging Ruby scripts
+
+Other implementations can be added with ease, and I will accept pull requests
+that add such implementations as long as they use Vim's |license|.
+
+Vebugger is built under the following assumptions:
+
+ * While command line debuggers share enough in common to make the creation
+   of such a framework as Vebugger possible, the differences between them are
+   too great to be expressed with regular expression. To support them all at
+   least some code has to be written.
+ * Unlike IDE users, Vim users tend to understand the tools the operate behind
+   the scenes. While Vebugger automates the common features, it allows you to
+   "open the hood" and interact with the debugger's shell directly so you could
+   utilize the full power of your debugger.
+ * I have no intention to aim for the lowest common denominator. If one
+   debugger has a cool feature I want to support, I'll implement it even if the
+   other debuggers don't have it.
+
+Vebugger is developed under Linux. I'll try it under Windows once I feel like
+setting a Windows development environment, and fix what needs to be fixed to
+make it work there. I have neither plans nor means to support OSX, but I will
+accept pull requests that add OSX support.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+
+Vebugger requires the vimproc plugin, obtainable from:
+https://github.com/Shougo/vimproc.vim.  Notice that vimproc needs to be built -
+there are instructions in the GitHub page.
+
+In order for Vebugger to use a debugger, that debugger must be installed and
+it's executable must be in the PATH. In case of RDebug and PDB, which are used
+from the Ruby and Python modules, the interpreter(`ruby` or `python`) is the
+one that must be installed and in the path.
+
+USAGE
+=====
+
+Run `help vebugger-launching` from Vim to learn how to launch the debugger.
+
+Run `help vebugger-usage` from Vim to learn how to operate the debugger.
