+USAGE
+  WORKERS INTERFACE
+    It's possible for a worker to register itself against presque. This is
+    not required. The main purpose of registering workers is to collect
+    informations about your workers : what are they doing right now, how
+    many jobs have they failed, how many jobs have they processed, ...
+
+   REGISTER A WORKER
+    To register a worker, a POST request must be made. The content of the
+    POST must be a JSON structure that contains the key worker_id.
+
+        curl -H 'Content-Type: appplication/json' http://localhost:5000/w/foo -d '{"worker_id":"myworker_1"}
+
+    The HTTP response is 201, and no content is returned.
+
+   STATISTICS
+    When a worker is registered, statistics about this worker are collected.
+
+        curl "http://localhost:5000/w/?worker_id=myworker_1" | json_xs -f json -t json-pretty
+
+        {
+            "worker_id" : "myworker_1",
+            "started_at" : 1273923534,
+            "processed" : "0",
+            "failed" : "0"
+        }
+
+   UNREGISTER A WORKER
+    When a worker has finished to work, it should unregister itself:
+
+        curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:5000/w/foo?worker_id=myworker_1"
+
+    The response HTTP code is 204, and no content is returned.
+
+  JOB INTERFACE
+   INSERT A JOB
     The Content-Type of the request must be set to application/json. The
     body of the request must be a valid JSON object.
