+Proof General --- Organize your proofs!
+=======================================
Proof General is a generic Emacs interface for proof assistants.
-Our aim is provide a powerful and configurable Emacs mode which helps
-user-interaction with interactive proof assistants.
+The aim of the Proof General project is to provide a powerful and
+configurable interfaces which help user-interaction with interactive
+proof assistants. Proof General targets power users rather than
+novices, but we include general user interface niceties, such as
+toolbar and menus, which make use easier for all.
Please help us with this aim! Configure Proof General for your proof
assistant, by adding features at the generic level wherever possible.

+NEWSFLASH: Proof General has been Emacs based so far, but plans are
+afoot to liberate it from the points and parentheses of Emacs Lisp.
+The successor framework, Proof General Kit, proposes that proof assistants
+use a *standard* XML-based protocol for interactive proof, dubbed
+PGIP. PGIP will allow a middleware layer for many interactive proof
+tools and interface components (including Emacs). The design of PGIP
+was made possible by the present Emacs-based Proof General framework.
