+== Installation ==
+
+papywizard is entirely written in python, and uses some third-party modules:
+
+ * [http://www.pygtk.org PyGTK] -- GTK+ for Python
+ * [http://pyserial.sourceforge.net pySerial] -- serial bus access for python
+ * [http://code.google.com/p/pybluez pybluez] -- bluetooth python wrapper
+ * [http://www.vpython.org Visual Python] -- 3D Python project (optional)
+
+
+=== Linux ===
+
+As most distributions come with python and all needed modules (just install them through your application manager), there is no need to pre-build a package. Just install it with distutils tools:
+
+{{{
+$ python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
+}}}
+
+=== Nokia ===
+
+As Nokia is based on Linux, it is possible to install papywizard through distutils tools (see previous section). However, it is easier to install the debian package, through the maemo application manager. Add this repository entry in the application manager:
+
+||''Name''||gbiloba.org||
+||''Address''||!http://www.gbiloba.org/debs||
+||''Distribution''||bora||
+||''Component''||free||
+
+You also need the python repository:
+
+||''Name''||Maemo extra||
+||''Address''||!http://repository.maemo.org/extras||
+||''Distribution''||bora (770/N800) or chinook (N810)||
+||''Component''||free non-free||
+
+''Note 1: on the 770, you need to install OS-2007 HE firmeware, in order to run python2.5. Then, you have to manually install '''python2.5-runtime''' package with dpkg (from x-term) before installing papywizard.''
+
+''Note 2: on N800 and N810, you first need to install '''maemo-python-device-env''' package, from the application manager, before installing papywizard.''
+
+== Configuration ==
+
+No external configuration is needed; all parameters can be modified from papywizard config. menu.
+
+== Usage overview ==
+
+papywizard is very easy to use, and I hope the GUI is intuitive enough.
+
+The first thing to do is to edit the configuration, to reflect you camera/lens/head/hardware config.
+
+Second, you need to connect to the hardware (Menu ''Hardware > Connect''). If you use the bluetooth driver (default config), you need to enter the correct address of your adapter in the config menu (see above).
+
+Then, just move the head either by opening the ''Manual move'' dialog, or using the shortcuts (see below), and set the start/end positions. As an alternative, you can automatically set the yaw to 360° and/or the pitch to 180°.
+
+Once it is done, just open the shooting dialog and launch the entire process. That's it!
+
+== Reference manual ==

+
+== Keyboard shortcuts ==
+
+papywizard main target is ''Nokia Internet Tablets'', so keyboard shortcuts are dedicated for that plateform (but works fine with normal PC). Here are defined shortcuts:
+
+ * In main window:
