+Welcome to the Tahoe project, a secure, decentralized, 
+fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available 
+under a Free Software, Open Source licence.
 
-You can store files in the grid and retrieve them with a
-cryptographically generated URI that securely identifies and decrypts that
-file.  You can also organize files with filenames and directories, in the
-familiar style.  The basic idea is that the data in this storage grid is
-spread over all participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover 
-the data even if a majority of the nodes are no longer available.
+This filesystem is encrypted and spread over multiple peers in 
+such a way that it remains available even when some of the 
+peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.
 
 The current code base is targeted at hackers and users who are
-willing to use a minimal, text-oriented web user interface.
+willing to use command-line tools or a hacker-oriented web user
