+===================
+What is GeoEngine ?
+===================
+
+GeoEngine is an OpenERP module that adds spatial/GIS capabilites to OpenERP. It will allow you to :
+
+* Visualize and query your business information on map
+* Perform GeoBI and spatial query
+* Configure your spatial layers and spatial datasources
+* Extend OpenERP models with spatial columns
+
+GeoEngine relies on `OpenLayers <http://openlayers.org>`_ and `PostgGIS <http://postgis.refractions.net/>`_ technologies.
+
+Postgis is used to store spatial information in databases. OpenLayer is used to represent spatial data in other words to show maps. The GeoEngine module acts as a data provider and as an OpenLayers configurator. It also provides a complete extension to OpenERP ORM.
