+WICD
+====
+
+Wired and Wireless Network Connection Manager.
+
+This is expansion of the `original`_ WICD, which is semi dead project - even
+though there was `some activity`_ regarding moving it to the Python3, its even
+`been merged`_ to the original sources, yet it's still borken.
+
+My motivation is to make it usable again, and my effort concentrate on the
+curses part of the project.
+
+What's works:
+
+1. Installation. It was broken, but the fix was trivial. So now, the usual
+   ``python setup.py install`` should just work.
+2. TUI in ncurses. Actually, it's using `urwid`_ underneath. No
+
+What is not:
+
+1. GUI in GTK. WICD used to use `pygtk`_, which (unfortunately) is Python 2
+   only project. I would be tempted to reimplement it with gobject, but I have
+   0 motivation for doing so, because GTK2 is not supported through it.
