+Geiser is a generic Emacs/Scheme interaction mode, featuring an
+enhanced REPL and a set of minor modes improving Emacs' basic scheme
+major mode.
+
+Geiser supports Racket and Guile.
+
+Main functionalities:
+
+    - Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module.
+
+    - Macro expansion.
+
+    - File/module loading.
+
+    - Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings,
+      names visible in the current module, and module names).
+
+    - Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of
+      the procedure/macro around point automatically.
+
+    - Jump to definition of identifier at point.
+
+    - Direct access to documentation, including docstrings (when the
+      implementation provides them) and user manuals.
+
+    - Listings of identifiers exported by a given module (Guile).
+
+    - Listings of callers/callees of procedures (Guile).
+
+    - Rudimentary support for debugging (list of
+      evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode
+      buffer).
+
+    - Support for inline images in schemes, such as Racket, that treat
+      them as first order values.
+
+See http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/ for the full manual in HTML form, or
+the the info manual installed by this package.
