+{\tt hledger} is a set of cross-platform tools (and Haskell libraries) for
+tracking money, time, or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting
+and a simple future-proof text file format.
+
+It is an enhanced, well-documented reimplementation of plain text accounting
+in Haskell, inspired by John Wiegley's Ledger program.
+
+{\tt hledger} aims to be a reliable and practical tool for daily use, and
+provides command-line, curses-style, and web interfaces.
+
+{\tt hledger} is released under GNU GPLv3+.
+
+Project activity has been continuous since our last update in November 2016.
+
