-This package allows for writing and mounting user-space file systems from Go. It
-is a wrapper around [bazil.org/fuse][bazil], which does the heavy lifting. It
-does not make use of the [bazil.org/fuse/fs][bazil-fs] sub-package, which allows
-for something like an object-orientend representation of files and directories,
-and contains a decent amount of canned behavior.
+This package allows for writing and mounting user-space file systems from Go.
+Install it as follows:
 
-The chief improvements and/or differences from the bazil.org packages are:
+    go get -u github.com/jacobsa/fuse
 
- *  No surprises in the form of magic/default behaviors. You must provide an
-    implementation for every method in the interface. Embed a
-    `fuseutil.NotImplementedFileSystem` struct to have default implementations
-    that return `ENOSYS`.
+Afterward, see the documentation for the following three packages:
 
- *  Every method, struct, and field is thoroughly documented. This may help you
-    get your bearings in the world of FUSE, the Linux VFS, traditional file
-    system implementations, etc., all of which tend to be very poorly
-    documented.
+ *  Package [fuse][] provides support for mounting a new file system and
+    reading requests from the kernel.
 
- *  Support for arbitrary offsets in directory entries returned by `ReadDir`.
-    (The bazil.org package assumes that offsets must be counts of bytes.)
+ *  Package [fuseops][] enumerates the supported requests from the kernel, and
+    provides documentation on their semantics.
 
-The very large disadvantage over using the bazil.org packages is that many
-features have not yet been exposed.
+ *  Package [fuseutil][], in particular the `FileSystem` interface, provides a
+    convenient way to create a file system type and export it to the kernel via
+    `fuse.Mount`.
 
-Make sure to see the sub-packages of the [samples][] package.
+Make sure to also see the sub-packages of the [samples][] package for examples
+and tests.
