-awesome is a tiling window manager initialy based on a dwm code
-rewriting. It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome.
+awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager
+for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license.
-Windows can be managed in several layouts: tiled, maximized, dwindle,
-spiral, floating. Each layout can be applied on the fly, optimizing
-the environment for the application in use and the task performed.
-
-Managing windows in tiled mode assures that no space will be wasted
-on your screen. No gaps, no overlap. Other layouts can be used for
-different purpose.
-
-If you do not want to use the tiling management, you can use the
-floating layout wich will let you organize your windows as you
-wish, like any other window manager.
+It is primarly targeted at power users, developers and any people dealing
+with every day computing tasks and who want to have fine-grained control
+on theirs graphical environment.
