+
+libmlk-common
+-------------
+
+This library contains many utilities that can be used in both server and client
+targets.
+
+This library does not depend on client or server code at all.
+
+libmlk-server
+-------------
+
+This library contains anything you need to develop a server running your game,
+it does not depends on anything graphical and can safely be used on headless
+machine.
+
+libmlk-client
+-------------
+
+This library contains graphical modules to develop a rich client. It depends on
+a graphical backend (mostly SDL) and all of what is needed to make a whole
+client (graphics, audio, fonts and such).
+
+libmlk-server-js and libmlk-client-js
+-------------------------------------
+
+These libraries are the official Javascript bindings for their respectives
+homonyms.
+
+mlk-server and mlk-client
+-------------------------
+
+These executables are written upon libmlk-server-js and libmlk-client-js
+respectively, they are able to run games written in Javascript.
+
+mlk-bcc
+-------
+
+The `mlk-bcc` tool is a very basic resource compiler, it transforms any input
+data as C++ byte array.
+
+mlk-tileset and mlk-map
+-----------------------
+
+These two executables are required to transform maps and tileset created with
+the [tiled][link-tiled] map editor.
+
+They are only used by the client.
