+# Abstract Windowing Toolkit
+
+"Abstract" windowing thing. UNO implementations of windowing stuff so that it
+can be used from Basic or Java. But also stuff that has no connection to Basic
+or Java.
+
+## Notes
+
+The "awt" here has no relation to the Java AWT, as far as I know. It
+might be inspired by it API-wise, perhaps. (If you know differently, feel free
+to improve this `README.md` file.)
+
+Also note that `toolkit/` is itself not really a toolkit, it is at root a
+reasonably simple wrapper of `vcl/`. If you came here looking for a
+toolkit, please look at `vcl/` instead.
