+Installation from sources
+=========================
+
+In the pandas directory (same one where you found this file), execute:
+
+python setup.py install
+
+On Windows, you will need to install MinGW and execute
+
+python setup.py install --compiler=mingw32
+
+See
+
+http://pandas.sourceforge.net/
+
+For more information.

+Release Notes
+=============
+
+What it is
+==========
+
+pandas is a library for pan-el da-ta analysis, i.e. multidimensional
+time series and cross-sectional data sets commonly found in
+statistics, econometrics, or finance. It provides convenient and
+easy-to-understand NumPy-based data structures for generic labeled
+data, with focus on automatically aligning data based on its label(s)
+and handling missing observations. One major goal of the library is to
+simplify the implementation of statistical models on unreliable data.
+
+Main Features
+=============
+
+* Data structures: for 1, 2, and 3 dimensional labeled data
+  sets. Some of their main features include:
+
+    * Automatically aligning data
+    * Handling missing observations in calculations
+    * Convenient slicing and reshaping ("reindexing") functions
+    * Provide 'group by' aggregation or transformation functionality
+    * Tools for merging / joining together data sets
+    * Simple matplotlib integration for plotting
+
+* Date tools: objects for expressing date offsets or generating date
+  ranges; some functionality similar to scikits.timeseries
+
+* Statistical models: convenient ordinary least squares and panel OLS
+  implementations for in-sample or rolling time series /
+  cross-sectional regressions. These will hopefully be the starting
+  point for implementing other models
+
+pandas is not necessarily intended as a standalone library but rather
+as something which can be used in tandem with other NumPy-based
+packages like scikits.statsmodels. Where possible wheel-reinvention
+has largely been avoided. Also, its time series manipulation
+capability is not as extensive as scikits.timeseries; pandas does have
+its own time series object which fits into the unified data model.
+
+Some other useful tools for time series data (moving average, standard
+deviation, etc.) are available in the codebase but do not yet have a
+convenient interface. These will be highlighted in a future release.
+
+Where to get it
+===============
+
+The source code is currently hosted on googlecode at:
+
+http://pandas.googlecode.com
+
+Binary releases can be downloaded there, or alternately via the Python
+package index or easy_install
+
+PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pandas/
+
+License
+=======
+
+BSD
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+The official documentation is hosted on SourceForge.
+
+http://pandas.sourceforge.net/
+
+The sphinx documentation is still in an incomplete state, but it
+should provide a good starting point for learning how to use the
+library. Expect the docs to continue to expand as time goes on.
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Work on pandas started at AQR (a quantitative hedge fund) in 2008 and
+has been under active development since then.
+
+Discussion and Development
+==========================
+
+Since pandas development is related to a number of other scientific
+Python projects, questions are welcome on the scipy-user mailing
+list. Specialized discussions or design issues should take place on
+the pystatsmodels mailing list / google group, where
+scikits.statsmodels and other libraries will also be discussed:
