+We’ve all done it. In the process of writing a brand new application
+we’ve discovered that we need a little bit of code that we’ve
+invented before. Perhaps it’s something to handle unicode text.
+Perhaps it’s something to make a bit of python-2.5 code run on
+python-2.3. Whatever it is, it ends up being a tiny bit of code that
+seems too small to worry about pushing into its own module so it sits
+there, a part of your current project, waiting to be cut and pasted
+into your next project. And the next. And the next. And since that
+little bittybit of code proved so useful to you, it’s highly likely
+that it proved useful to someone else as well. Useful enough that
+they’ve written it and copy and pasted it over and over into each of
+their new projects.
+
+Well, no longer! Kitchen aims to pull these small snippets of code
+into a few python modules which you can import and use within your
+project.
+No more copy and paste! Now you can let someone else maintain and
+release these small snippets so that you can get on with your life.
