+# Shell External Windows
+
+Shew is a small support library for dealing with external windows.
+
+The code for creating external windows from a handle that are suitable for
+setting a transient parent was copied from [xdg-desktop-portal-gtk].
+
+The code for exporting a handle for a GtkWindow is losely based on code
+from GTK/[libportal].
+
+## Stability
+This is an unstable library with no API or ABI guarantees, and no
+soname versioning.
+
+It is not recommended to use it outside the gnome-shell project, and
+may only be used as a subproject.
+
+## License
+shew is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License
+version 2.1 or later. See the [COPYING][license] file for details.
