-RubyGems brings to the world of Ruby a very valuable capability--the
-ability to manage concurrent versions of libraries and dependencies
-between those libraries.  This last aspect of RubyGems is one of the
-most important to the end user, because its value is continuous as you
-use and program Ruby, but to understand its impact an explanation of
-how Ruby manages libraries is in order.
+RubyGems is the premier Ruby packaging system.  It provides:
+
+  * A standard format for destributing Ruby programs and libraries.
+  * An easy to use tool for managing the installation of gem packages.
+  * A gem server utility for serving gems from any machine where
+    RubyGems is installed.
