-* Max line length is 110 chars.
-* Multiple assignments may be aligned.
-* Follow PEP8 with the exception of the following rules

 bootstrap-vz
 ===========================================
 
-bootstrap-vz is a fully automated bootstrapping tool for Debian.
-It creates images for various virtualized platforms (at the moment: kvm, virtualbox, ec2).
-The plugin architecture allows for heavy modification of standard behavior
-(e.g. create a vagrant box, apply puppet manifests, run custom shell commands).
+bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian.
+It is is specifically intended to bootstrap systems for virtualized environments.
+It runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for
+[a number of virtualization platforms(http://andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz/providers.html).
+Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using <a href="manifest.html">manifests</a>
+as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.<br/>
+bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash scripts that were used in the
+[build-debian-cloud](https://github.com/andsens/build-debian-cloud) bootstrapper reached their
+limits.
 
-At no time is the resulting image booted, meaning there are no latent logfiles
-or bash_history files.
-
-The bootstrapper runs on a single json manifest file which contains all configurable
-parameters. This allows you to recreate the image whenever you like so you can create
-an updated version of an existing image or create the same image in multiple EC2 regions.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-You will need to run debian wheezy with **python 2.7** and **debootstrap** installed.
-Other depencies include:
-* qemu-utils
-* parted
-* grub2
-* euca2ools
-* xfsprogs (If you want to use XFS as a filesystem)
-Also the following python libraries are required:
-* **boto** ([version 2.14.0 or higher](https://github.com/boto/boto))
-* **jsonschema** ([version 2.0.0](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema), only available through pip)
-* **termcolor**
-* **fysom**
-
-Bootstrapping instance store AMIs requires **euca2ools** to be installed.
