+<title>Description</title>
+<para>&kstars; allows you to configure and control astronomical instruments
+such as telescopes and focusers via the INDI protocol.
+<command>indiserver</command> is a server that sits between the &kstars;
+user interface and the low-level hardware drivers.</para>
+<para>The <acronym>INDI</acronym> server is a network server, int hat either
+local or remote clients may connect to it to control astronomical
+instruments. The <acronym>INDI</acronym> server must be running on the
+machine that is physically connected to the astronomical instruments.</para>
+<note><para>There is usually no need to run the <acronym>INDI</acronym>
+server directly. Using the &kstars; device manager, you can set up
+astronomical instruments and start or stop the <acronym>INDI</acronym>
+server all from within &kstars;</para></note>
+<para>Much more detailed information is available in the &kstars; handbook,
+as described below.</para>
+<para>&kstars; is a graphical desktop planetarium for &kde;, and forms part
+of the &kde; edutainment module.</para>
