DESCRIPTION
===========
-Kupfer is a launcher. You do not primarily use it to search your files,
-you use it to summon the object you are thinking about.
+Kupfer is a launcher; you typically use it to summon an application or a
+document quickly by typing parts of its name. It can also do more than
+getting at something quickly: there are different plugins for accessing
+more objects and running custom commands.
-Kupfer is written using Python and has a flexible architecture. It can
-work with applications and files, recent documents and web browser
-bookmarks, and many more types of user data.
-
-The philosophy of Kupfer is simplicity. The implementation is simple,
-makes the easy things work first, and does not overimplement unnecessary
-parts of the program.
+Kupfer is written using Python and has a flexible architecture; the
