+.SH NAME
+gpaint \- a small easy to use paint program for GNOME
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+gpaint [filename]...
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page briefly documents gpaint (GNU Paint), a small-scale
+painting program for GNOME, the GNU Desktop Environment. gpaint does
+not attempt to compete with GIMP, it is just a simple drawing package
+based on xpaint, along the lines of 'Paintbrush' from a popular
+non-free operating system.
+
+gpaint is still work in progress and many features are still being
+developed. However, gpaint is usable and useful for simple image
+editing tasks.
+
+.SH FEATURES
+Currently gpaint has the following features:
+.TP
+* Drawing tools such as ovals, freehand, polygon and text, with fill or shadow for polygons and closed freehand shapes.
+.TP
+* Cut and paste by selecting irregular regions or polygons.
+.TP
+* Preliminary print support using gnome-print.
+.TP
+* Modern, easy to use user interface with tool and color palettes.
+.TP
+* Multiple-image editing in a single instance of the program.
+.TP
+* All the image processing features present in xpaint.
+
+.SH TODO
+Future plans include the implementation of zooming in/out, image
+scaling/rotation, and turning gpaint into a Bonobo component for
+simple image editing tasks inside other programs.
+
+.SH BUGS
+For bugs or general comments you can send mail to the developers list <gpaint-develop@gnu.org>, or you can enter a bug into the Debian Bug Tracking
+system. Details of how to use this system can be found on
+http://bugs.debian.org/.
