+Driver
+======
+
+Tuikit driver is the lowest part of the kit - it actually draws characters on screen,
+receives user events and forwards them to widgets.
+
+Any dirty details of actual graphical toolkit should be hidden by this driver.
+Though it's not hardware driver, nowhere near that. Tuikit driver is expected to use
+pretty high-level libraries, it's low-level only in Tuikit perpective.
+
+Currently there are three drivers: Dummy, Curses, SDL
+
+
+Dummy driver
+------------
+
+This driver shows and documents complete interface required from any driver.
+
+It does not draw anything and immediately emits keypress event for 'q' char and 'escape' key,
+which should exit application.
+
+All methods of dummy driver just report they where being called - into log file.
+
+
+Curses driver
+-------------
+
+Default driver for Text User Interface in any terminal supporting required features.
+Uses curses module from Python.
+
+
+SDL driver
+----------
+
+Creates graphical window and draws characters here. This has less limits than curses,
+we can use any colors, fonts and possibly even draw images.
+
+Though by default, it just emulates terminal with curses.
+
+SDL application is more portable than curses one, which means that Tuikit application
+using SDL driver may work in non-unix OS like Windows (does not currently,
+due to unconditional use of fontconfig).
+
+SDL driver requires sdlterm module for Python, which must be compiled from C++.
+See sdlterm directory in Tuikit distribution.
