+<title>Description</title>
+<para>&kig; is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to
+serve two purposes:</para>
+<itemizedlist><listitem><para>To allow students to interactively explore
+mathematical figures and concepts using the computer;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>To serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and
+including them in other documents.</para></listitem></itemizedlist>
+<para>With this program you can do geometry on a computer just like you
+would on a blackboard in a classroom. However the program allows you to
+move and change parts of a geometrical drawing so that you can see how other
+parts change as a result.</para>
+<para>&kig; supports loci and user-defined macros. It also imports and
+exports both to and from foreign file formats including
+<application>Cabri</application>, <application>Dr. Geo</application>,
+&kgeo;, <application>KSeg</application> and <application>XFig</application>.</para>
+<para>This application is part of the official &kde; edutainment module.</para>
