+===== Introduction =====
-.
+Gigolo is a frontend to easily manage connections to remote filesystems using
+GIO/GVfs. It allows you to quickly connect/mount local and remote filesystems and manage
+bookmarks of such.
+GVfs is an userspace virtual filesystem and the successor of GnomeVfs but doesn't
+depend on Gnome itself. It only requires a recent GLib version and a properly setup
+DBus system. Then it provides almost transparent access to remote
+resources like FTP or SFTP (SSH) connections, SMB (windows shares) or special resources like ''trash://'', ''burn://'' or even accessing your digital photo camera.
