-=head1 Welcome to FixMyStreet
-
-FixMyStreet is an open source project to develop a website for reporting
-problems such as potholes and broken street lights to the appropriate authority.
-
-Users locate problems using a combination of address and sticking a pin
-in a map without worrying about the correct authority to report it to.
-FixMyStreet then works out the correct authority to report it to using
-the problem location and type and sends a report.
-
-It was created in 2007 by L<mySociety|http://www.mysociety.org> for reporting problems to UK councils and
-has been copied around the world.
-
-We're working hard to make it easy to install and re-use in other
-countries and welcome questions about how it works on our mailing list:
-L<https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/fixmystreet>.
-
-We've also got a new site and blog which over time will become a useful
-resource for people interested in installing or developing FixMyStreet
-at L<http://code.fixmystreet.com/>.
-
-FixMyStreet is written in Perl and uses the Catalyst web framework.
