 /** \mainpage OpenMesh Documentation
 
+Welcome to the %OpenMesh documentation. %OpenMesh is a generic and efficient library
+that offers data structures for representing and manipulating polygonal meshes.
+Here you can find information on how to build projects using the %OpenMesh library
+as well as further information on mesh handling and based on %OpenMesh.
+The tutorials explain how to use %OpenMesh by demonstrating real code examples.
+
+\section iov Introduction
+In this section all necessary information on how to build projects using %OpenMesh
+is given. Additionally you can read about the internal naming conventions
+to facilitate understanding the %OpenMesh source code. Changes to %OpenMesh are
+logged in the Version history.
