+Presentation Of the Shinken project
+===================================
+
+Welcome in the Shinken project.
+
+Shinken is a new, Nagios compatible monitoring tool, written in
+Python. The main goal of Shinken is to allow users to have a fully
+flexible architecture for their monitoring system that can easily
+scale to large environments. It’s as simple as in all the marketing
+“cloud computing” slides, but here, it’s real!
+
+Shinken is backwards-compatible with the Nagios configuration standard
+and plug-ins. It works on any operating system and architecture that
+supports Python, which includes Windows and GNU/Linux.
+
+
+How to install Shinken
+=========================
+
+You just need to add a shinken user (in the shinken group) on your
+system::
+
+   useradd --user-group shinken
+   usermod --lock shinken
+
+First way: all in a directory (ugly but quick way ;)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Then move the shinken directory and give it to the shinken user::
+
+  mv shinken /usr/local
+  chown -R shinken:shinken /usr/local/shinken
+
+Second way: district directory (clean way)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can install really the application by using the `setup.py` script.
+It will install the shinken library in the python path, create the
+`/etc/shinken` and `/var/lib/shinken` directory (you can change them in
+the `setup.cfg` file before launching `setup.py`). You will
+need the `python-setuptools` package for it. Then just run::
+
+  sudo python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/bin/
+
+For the compilation part in both way it's easy: there is no
+compilation!
+
+Requirements
+=========================
+
+`shinken` requires
+
+* `Python`__ 2.4 or higher (Python 2.6 or higher is recommended)
+* `setuptools`__ or `distribute`__ for installation (see below).
+* `Pyro`__
+* `multiprocessing` Python package when using Python 2.4 or 2.5
+  (`multiprocessing` is already included in Python 2.6 and higher)
+
+__ http://www.python.org/download/
+__ pyro
+__ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/multiprocessing/
+
+If (and only if) you plan to use the `livestatus` module, I'll also
+need
+
+* `simplejson`__ 
+* `pysqlite`__
+
+__ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/ and
+__ http://code.google.com/p/pysqlite/
+
+Just untar and launch `python setup.py install` (and be sure to have
+installed the `python-devel` package too).
+
+For Python, it should be okay with nearly all distribution.
+
+Under ubuntu, you can grab the Pyro module with::
+
+  sudo apt-get install pyro
+
+Under other distributions, you can search for it::
+
+  yum search pyro
+
+And if you do not find it, you can install it from PyPI::
+
+  easy_install pyro
+
+And that all folks :)
+
+
+Where is the configuration?
+================================
+
+The configuration is where you put the etc directory (in
+`/usr/local/shinken/etc` for a quick and dirty install, `/etc/shinken`
+for a clean one).
+
+The `nagios.cfg` file is meant ot be shared with Nagios. All Shinken
+specific objects (like link to daemons or realms) are in the file
+`shinken-specific.cfg`.
+
+
+I need to change my existing Nagios configuration?
+===================================================
+
+No, there is no need to change the existing configuration - unless
+you want to add some new hosts and services.
+
+
+How to run Shinken
+================================
+
+Quick and dirty way
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It's easy, there is a already launch script for you::
+
+  shinken/bin/launch_all.sh
+
+Clean way
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `setup.py` installes some `init.d` scripts, let's use them::
+
+  /etc/init.d/shinken-scheduler start
+  /etc/init.d/shinken-poller start
+  /etc/init.d/shinken-reactionner start
+  /etc/init.d/shinken-broker start
+  /etc/init.d/shinken-arbiter start
+
+
+Known bugs
+================================
+
+None we know :)
+
+If you find one, please post it in our trac site:
+https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/shinken/report/2
+
+
+How to run uninstall Shinken
+================================
+
+Clean all :)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There a script call clean.sh on the source directory for this :)
+Beware, it will supress all Shinken related files!
