 WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
 
-The source code that we are releasing is the current working prototype
-for Allmydata's next-generation product.  This release is targeted at
-hackers and users who are willing to use a minimal, text-oriented web
-user interface.
-
-This software is not yet recommended for storage of highly
-confidential data nor for important data which is not otherwise backed
-up, but it is useful for experimentation, prototyping, and extension.
+With Tahoe, you can back up your files in a distributed way onto a set
+of computers, such that if some of the computers fail or become
+unavailable, you can retrieve your data from the remainder.  You can
+also securely share your files with other users.

+This release is targeted at hackers and users who are willing to use a

+(Or a RESTful API.  Just telnet to localhost and type HTTP requests to
+get started...)
+
+Because this software is new and little tested, it is not yet
+recommended for storage of highly confidential data nor for important
+data which is not otherwise backed up, but it is useful for
+experimentation, prototyping, and extension.
