#PySide2
-This is the main repository for PySide2, the latest and greatest version of the Python bindings of Qt.
-PySide 2 supports Qt4 and Qt5. For building, please read about [gettting the dependencies](https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2/wiki/Dependencies). Then download the sources by running `git clone --recursive https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2.git`.
+
+###Introduction
+
+
+
+
+PySide is the Python Qt bindings project, providing access the complete Qt 5.x framework
+as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any C++ libraries.
+
+The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect
+from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository and an open design process. We welcome
+any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.
+
+
+PySide 2 supports Qt5. For building, please read about [gettting the dependencies](https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2/wiki/Dependencies). Then download the sources by running `git clone --recursive https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup2.git`.
