 Hi
 
-This is v2 of the extended wiimote support. It adds support for Accelerometer,
-IR-Cam, battery and force-feedback.
+This patch series adds support for extended wiimote features:
+ - force-feedback / rumble
+ - accelerometer
+ - IR cam input for up to 4 trackable items
+ - battery charge level
+ - raw eeprom access
 
-v2 replaces the sysfs-battery attribute with a power_supply device.
+Most of the patches just extend the current driver with trivial features. The
+only new interface is the "synchronous requests" API which allows to lock the
+stream for a series of requests.
+
+For userspace tools see:
+  http://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote
+tools/xwiishow.c visualizes all wiimote input and is great to test the driver.
+
+The only missing feature is extension support which I am currently working on
+and which is available in my xwiimote_kernel repository. So after this series I
+will submit one last series of patches for extension support.
+
+It would be great to get some review and feedback. The current bluez repo also
+has a wiimote plugin so pairing should be as simple as with other devices now.
+The next bluez release will bring it to the distros, eventually.
+
+I've set the KernelRelease of the sysfs docs to 3.2 so there is no time pressure
+for 3.1.
 
 Regards
 David
