+== Introduction ==
+
+As the aim of Rave is to provide a complete toolset for sophisticated vertex reconstruction, it naturally includes the possibility of performing a "constrained fit". This kind of reconstruction implies knowledge of the fitted topology, which then is used as extra information to refine the purely geometrically fitted results of the unconstrained vertex fit. 
+
+The topology (read decay chain) is represented by a data structure called !KinematicTree referring to the tree-like hierarchical structure of a decay. This tree should be understood as a graph using !KinematicParticle instances as its edges and !KinematicVertex instances as its nodes. The following image should clearify the design.
+
+To maximize the ease-of-use, a certain number of common constraints was chosen. At the moment there is no other possibilty to add new constraints than by requesting them from the package maintainer.
+
+== Quickstart ==
