+i3 is a tiling window manager, completely written from scratch.
+
+i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't
+provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had
+some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at
+all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think
+the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring
+us to create i3.
+
+Please be aware that i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers.
+
+This requires libev and yajl.
