+pybuddy: Python daemon to control your i-buddy USB device
+
+by luis.peralta, Jose.Carlos.Luna, and leandro.vazquez
+released under MIT License (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php)
+
+-----
+
+Description:
+Instead of using your i-buddy (http://www.i-buddy.com) with MSN Messenger, why not use it to show other info?
+With pybuddy, you can control your i-buddy to do any of the supported actions: change head color, blink its 
+heart, beat its wings, etc. Example uses are: monitoring a website traffic (404s in red, 500s beating wings, 
+200s in green), showing your project's continuous integration process, ...and so on.
+
+Dependencies:
+The daemon is written in python, runs on Linux and needs python-usb. To install on Debian, use
+`apt-get install python-usb`; on RedHat, `yum install pyusb`. (Or `easy_install python-usb`?)
+
+Software using pybuddy:
+    Beside the scripts published in the contrib directory, there is other software using pybuddy:
+    * Jabbim (http://jabbim.cz/), a Jabber/XMPP client that mimics i-buddy MSN Messenger behaviour
+    * AMSN-iBuddy (http://github.com/frangor/amsn-iBuddy/blob/master), an AMSN plugin
+
+Other versions:
+    * pybuddy-dx (http://code.google.com/p/pybuddy-dx/) if you own a DX (DealExtreme) ebuddy
+
+------
+
+Forked from Google Code's SVN at http://code.google.com/p/pybuddy/
+
+Working on a non-daemon version (currently "my_pybuddy.py") and library that can be used elsewhere...
