+This repository is meant to contain the "sources" of the art used in The Mana
+World, including work in progress and conceptual art. Most important, here is
+where we keep the art in the preferred form for modification.
+
+In contrast, the 'tmwdata' repository contains the art actually used in the
+game.

+See the COPYING file for the license.
+See the AUTHORS file for the list of authors.
