+Moulinette is a small Python framework meant to easily create programs with unified CLI and API.
+
+In particular, it is used as a base framework for the YunoHost project.

Overview
--------
-Initially, the moulinette was an application made for the
-[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org/) project in order to regroup all its
-related operations into a single program called *moulinette*. Those
-operations were available from a command-line interface and a Web server
-providing an API. Moreover, the usage of these operations (e.g.
-required/optional arguments) was defined into a simple yaml file -
-called *actionsmap*. This file was parsed in order to construct an
-*ArgumentParser* object and to parse the command arguments to process
-the proper operation.
+Moulinette allows to create a YAML "actionmaps" that describes what commands are available. Moulinette will automatically make these commands available through the CLI and Web API, and will be mapped to a python function. Moulinette also provide some general helpers, for example for logging, i18n, authentication, or common file system operations.
-During a long refactoring with the goal of unify both interfaces, the
-idea to separate the core of the YunoHost operations has emerged.
-The core kept the same name *moulinette* and try to follow the same
-initial principle. An [Actions Map](#actions-map) - which defines
-available operations and their usage - is parsed and it's used to
-process an operation from several unified [Interfaces](#interfaces). It
-also supports a configuration mechanism - which allows to restrict an
-operation on an interface for example (see
-[Authenticators](#authenticators)).
