+# Extra CMake Modules
+
+## Introduction
+
+The Extra CMake Modules package, or ECM, adds to the modules provided by CMake,
+including ones used by ``find_package()`` to find common software, ones that
+can be used directly in ``CMakeLists.txt`` files to perform common tasks and
+toolchain files that must be specified on the commandline by the user.
+
+In addition, it provides common build settings used in software produced by the
+KDE community.
+
+While the driving force of this module is to reduce duplication in CMake scripts
+across KDE software, it is intended to be useful for any software that uses the
+CMake build system.
+
