 The various aspects covered by the tool are:
 <ul>
-    <li>- only produce software packages (ease integration in deployment servers, provide inheritance mecanisms, and Virtual Machines (VM) or Environments (VE) as well as Remote Machines (RM))</li>
-    <li>- ease the various steps of solution life cycle (controlled impact of installation/uninstallation, dependencies management, identical deliveries up to the customer, announce management, web site delivery, metadata management)</li>
-    <li>- help new projects in the provisioning of packages (templates and skeletons for the various supported OS, generated structure, help in VM/VE/RM build)</li>
-    <li>- Avoid code or metadata duplication, as well as has no impact on the original project (macro system, separate repository)</li>
-    <li>- Neutral in term of Unix environment (repository, system, package type agnostic)</li>

+Project-Builder.org is a GPL tool for simplifying the process of building
+packages for multiple operating systems from source.  The source can
+come from version control or from tar files, the packages can be build
+on pre-installed Remote Machines (RM) over ssh, on Virtual Machines (VM) on the local
+host, or inside a Virtual Environment (VE aka chroot) on the local host.  The
+configuration files for Project-Builder.org are stored in subversion and
+are used to control the method by which the packages are created.
+Further details can be found on that <a href="/about.shtml">page</a> and in a detailed walkthrough of using
+Project-Builder.org available as
