+Introduction
+------------
+
+The parallel module provides elementary support for parallel programming in
+Python using a fork-based process creation model in conjunction with a
+channel-based communications model implemented using socketpair and poll.
+
+Quick Start
+-----------
+
+Try running some of the tests:
+
+PYTHONPATH=. python tests/create_loop.py
+PYTHONPATH=. python tests/start_loop.py
+
+(Simple loop demonstrations which use two different ways of creating and
+starting the parallel processes.)
+
+PYTHONPATH=. python tests/start_indexer.py <n> <directory>
+
+(A text indexing demonstration, where <n> should be replaced by the number of
+created/child/worker processes which will attempt to tokenize text files, and
+where <directory> should be a directory containing text files to be indexed,
+although HTML files will also work well enough. After indexing the files, a
+prompt will appear, words or word fragments can be entered, and matching words
+and their locations will be shown.)

+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+This software depends on standard library features which are stated as being
+available only on "UNIX"; it has only been tested on a GNU/Linux system.
+
+Release Procedures
+------------------
+
+Update the parallel __version__ attribute.
+Change the version number and package filename/directory in the documentation.
+Update the release notes (see above).
+Check the release information in the PKG-INFO file.
+Tag, export.
+Archive, upload.
+Update PyPI, PythonInfo Wiki, Vaults of Parnassus entries.
