 What is Rygel?
 
-Rygel:
+Rygel is a collection of UPnP/DLNA[1][2] devices, implemented through a plug-in
+mechanism.
 
-* is an implementation of the UPnP MediaServer V 2.0 specification[1]
-* is designed for GNOME desktop.
-* is based on GUPnP[2].
-* supports plugable Media providers (and currently has a tracker[3]-based media
-  provider).
-* is written (mostly) in Vala language[4].
+== Important facts and features ==
+  * Specifically designed for GNOME (Mobile) and is therefore planned to be one
+    of the key new features of Maemo[3] platform in the Harmattan[4] release.
+  * Based on GUPnP[5].
+  * Written (mostly) in Vala language[6]
+  * APIs to ease the implementation of AV devices (currently only MediaServer[7]
+    version 2.0 specification[8].
+  * Export of on-disk media:
+    * tracker[9] plugin.
+    * Folder: Recursively exports folders specified in the user preferences.
+  * Export of live TV (DVB) channels streams through DVB Daemon[10].
+  * Export of online media from 2nd German TV station[11].
+  * Export of media hierarchies provided by external applications through
+    implementation of this spec[12]. The first application that utilizes this
+    feature is PulseAudio[13].
+  * Audio and Video Transcoding: source format could be anything GStreamer's
+    decodebin2 can handle but output formats are currently limited to: mp3, PCM
+    and MPEG TS. Fortunately the transcoding framework is flexible enough to
+    easily add more transcoding targets.
