+= Redact -- An Edje Compiler written in Ruby
+
+Redact is an Edje[http://enlightenment.org] compiler written in Ruby.
+Unlike the official Edje compiler, edje_cc, Redact doesn't read
+EDC code - it reads Ruby code instead. This means that Redact will allow
+you to write Edjes in a full-blown programming language.
+
+So why is this a good thing?
+
+With edje_cc, the only way to automate the creation of parts and/or
+programs is to use CPP macros, which are very limited feature-wise
+and hard to debug.
+
+Also, it means that syntax errors won't go unnoticed anymore :)
+
+Redact is maintained by:
