+The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines for numerical
+computing. The routines are written from scratch by the GSL team in ANSI C,
+and are meant to present a modern Applications Programming Interface (API)
+for C programmers, while allowing wrappers to be written for very high level
+languages.
+
+GSL is currently in developers release, for people who want to work on the
+library itself. When the library is complete and fully tested it will be
+announced for general use.
