+What is Alabaster?
+==================
+
+Alabaster is a visually (c)lean, responsive, configurable theme for the `Sphinx
+<https://www.sphinx-doc.org>`_ documentation system.
+It requires Python 3.9 or newer and Sphinx 3.4 or newer.
+
+It began as a third-party theme, and is still maintained separately, but as of
+Sphinx 1.3, Alabaster is an install-time dependency of Sphinx and is selected
+as the default theme.
+
+Live examples of this theme can be seen on `this project's own website
+<https://alabaster.readthedocs.io/>`_, `paramiko.org <https://www.paramiko.org>`_,
+`fabfile.org <https://www.fabfile.org>`_ and `pyinvoke.org <https://www.pyinvoke.org>`_.
