+    (description
+      "ix.el is a simple emacs client to http://ix.io cmdline pastebin. At
+the moment using the `ix' command on a selection sends the
+selection to ix.io, entire buffer is sent if selection is inactive,
+on success the url is notified in the minibuffer as well as saved
+in the kill ring.
+
+It is recommended to set a user name and token so that you can
+later delete or replace a paste. Set this via the variables
+`ix-user' and `ix-token' via M-x customize-group RET ix
+
+Posts (if posted with user and token) can be deleted by `ix-delete'
+command which prompts for post id (the string after http://ix.io/)
+
+curl is used as the backend via grapnel http request library.")
