+=head1 INTRODUCTION
+
+The content of this distribution is a new, experimental web frontend for the
+Netdisco network management tool. See L for further
+information on the project.
+
+If you have any trouble getting the frontend running, or it blows up in your
+face, please contact C in the C<#netdisco> IRC channel (on freenode).
+
+=head1 INSTALLATION
+
+Download the tarball from
+L
+and extract it on your system. Make sure the system has access to your
+Netdisco database.
+
+Edit the C file to have the correct
+credentials and settings (host name) for your own Netdisco database.
+
+In the same file, uncomment the C setting if you use Apache auth.
+Currently the frontend only works with the built-in Netdisco authentication.
+
+Optionally, in the same file uncomment and edit the C setting
+to be appropriate for your local site (same as the C setting in
+C).
+
+=head2 Dependencies
+
+You will need to have Netdisco itself installed on the system as this module
+will try to load the C library.
+
+Below is a complete list of the Perl library dependencies, but to avoid
+muddying your system, use the following shell script to download and install
+them into a custom library path:
+
+ mkdir -p ~/perl-profiles/netdisco-web
+ curl -L http://cpanmin.us/ | perl - --notest --quiet --local-lib-contained "~/perl-profiles/netdisco-web" \
+ App::cpanminus \
+ App::local::lib::helper \
+ Dancer \
+ DBIx::Class \
+ Dancer::Plugin::DBIC \
+ NetAddr::IP \
+ Net::MAC \
+ List::MoreUtils \
+ Net::DNS \
+ Socket6 \
+ HTML::Entities \
+ Template::Toolkit
+
+Then initialiaze an environment with access to these modules (for the lifetime
+of the shell):
+
+ ~/perl-profiles/netdisco-web/bin/localenv
+
+=head1 STARTUP
+
+There's a simple standalone web server built-in. This is sufficient for
+simple, single-user operation and development, but does not have performance
+for a production environment.
+
+ Netdisco/bin/netdisco-web.pl
+
+Speak to C on IRC if you want advice on firing up the application
+under Apache, FastCGI, or other environments.
+
+=head1 TIPS AND TRICKS
+
+The main black navigation bar has a search box which is smart enough to work
+out what you're looking for in most cases. For example device names, node IP
+or MAC addreses, VLAN numbers, and so on.
+
+If you've patched your C table to have a cached DNS entry column
+called C then uncomment the two indicated lines in C.
+
+Remember you can disable authentication by changing a setting in the
+configuration file, as explained above.
+
+=head1 RATIONALE
+
+The interface is written using Twitter's Bootstrap CSS library. This makes it
+very easy to achieve a decent look and feel. Additional functionality is
+provided by a few JQuery plugins.
+
+The intention is to support "plugins" for additonal features, most notably
+columns in the Device Port listing, but also new menu items and tabs. The
+design of this is sketched out but not implemented. The goal is to avoid
+patching core code to add localizations or less widely used features.
+
+Bundled with this app is a L layer for the Netdisco database.
+This could be a starting point for an "official" DBIC layer, but be warned
+that at the moment it's a bit messy. Helper functions and canned searches have
+been thrown together to support the web interface with little thought for
+style or consistency or performance. That will come later.
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+Some sections are not yet implemented, e.g. the Device Module tab.
+
+Menu items on the main black navigation bar go nowhere, except Home.
