+Roundcube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an
 application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect
-from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation,
-message searching and spell checking. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and
-requires the MySQL or Postgres database. The user interface is fully skinnable
-using XHTML and CSS 2.
-
-This project is meant to be a modern webmail solution which is easy to
-install/configure and that runs on a standard PHP plus MySQL or Postgres
-configuration. It includes open-source classes/libraries like PEAR
-(http://pear.php.net) and the IMAP wrapper from IlohaMail
-(http://www.ilohamail.org).

+from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder management,
+message searching and spell checking. Roundcube Webmail is written in PHP and
+requires the MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database. With its plugin API it is
+easily extendable and the user interface is fully customizable using skins
+which are pure XHTML and CSS 2.
+
+This project includes other open-source classes/libraries from PEAR
+(http://pear.php.net), an IMAP library derived from IlohaMail
+the TinyMCE rich text editor, Googiespell library for spell checking
+or the HTML sanitizer by Frederic Motte.

+The current default skin uses icons designed by Stephen Horlander and Kevin 
 Gerich for Mozilla.org.

-How it works:
--------------
-The main authority for the RoundCube access is the IMAP server. If
-'auto_create_user' is set to TRUE in config/main.inc.php a new record in the
-user table will be created once the IMAP login succeeded. This user record does
-not store a password, it's just used to assign identities, contacts and cache
-records. If you have 'auto_create_user' set to FALSE only IMAP logins which
-already have a corresponding entry in the user's table (username and hostname)
-will be allowed.
