+/*! # nalgebra-glm − nalgebra in _easy mode_
+    **nalgebra-glm** is a GLM-like interface for the **nalgebra** general-purpose linear algebra library.
+    [GLM](https://glm.g-truc.net) itself is a popular C++ linear algebra library essentially targeting computer graphics. Therefore
+    **nalgebra-glm** draws inspiration from GLM to define a nice and easy-to-use API for simple graphics application.
 
+    ## Getting started
+    First of all, you shoult start by taking a look at the official [GLM API documentation](http://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.9/api/index.html)
+    since **nalgebra-glm** implements a wide subset of it. To use **nalgebra-glm** to your project, you
+    should add it as a dependency to your `Crates.toml`:
+
+    ```toml
+    [dependencies]
+    nalgebra-glm = "0.1"
+    ```
+
+    Then, you should add an `extern crate` statement to your `lib.rs` or `main.rs` file. It is strongly
+    recommended to add a crate alias to `glm` as well so that you will be able to call functions of
+    **nalgebra-glm** using the module prefix `glm::`. For example you will write `glm::rotate(...)` instead
+    of the more verbose `nalgebra_glm::rotate(...)`:
+
+    ```rust
+    extern crate nalgebra_glm as glm;
+    ```
+
+    ## Features overview
+    ### Differences compared to GLM
+    ### Vector and matrix construction
+    ### Swizzling
+    ### Conversions
