<h2>The Cilux U-Web Exchange</h2>
+<p>
+Cilux is an application for smartphones, mobile devices and PCs that brings the
+<a href="http://the-u-web.org/">U-Web</a> to life...
</p><p>
-<a href="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cilux/">Cilux</a> is a U-Web "Exchange": a
-peer for the <a href="http://the-u-web.org/">U-Web</a> Mobile 2.0 platform.

+<h3>The U-Web</h3>
+<p>
+The <a href="http://the-u-web.org/">U-Web</a>
+enables you to intuitively share, integrate and update your friends and your right-here,
+right-now mobile stuff:
</p><p>
-The <a href="http://the-u-web.org/">U-Web</a> is an interactive mashup ecosystem for
-people, media, times and places. It is targeted at mobile devices such as MIDs.
+<i>People, identities and profiles in your phonebook and your Facebook. Stuff like
+photos off your mobile camera and photos on Flickr. Your personal messages, your public
+Twitter updates. The videos, reviews, comments, news, meetup times, calendars and
+current map locations of you and your friends.</i>
</p><p>
-<hr />
+Merged and tracked as they change; the U-Web will magically shuffle and combine all this
+dynamic, interactive data around for you, according to the permissions you set.
</p><p>
-The <a href="http://the-u-web.org/">U-Web</a> is an ambitious project to create an open
-platform for seamlessly and intuitively sharing, mashing and updating people and their
-right-here, right-now mobile stuff. People in phonebooks and on Facebook. Stuff like
-photos off the mobile camera and photos on Flickr; personal messages, public Twitter updates.
-The U-Web will magically shuffle all this dynamic data around for you, according to the
-permissions you set.
+A U-Web mobile application will merge these on- and off-device people, media, times
+and places in a single, seamless interface - with one map and one calendar.
</p><p>
-Cilux will mash up all identities, photos, messages, reviews, comments, news and meetup
-times and places in a single, seamless interface - with one map and one calendar.
+The U-Web is an open distributed Mobile 2.0 platform; an interactive 'mashup ecosystem'
+for people, media, times and places.

<h3>The U-Web and the World Wide Web</h3>
-</p><p>
+<p>
The U-Web has parallels (and considerable compatibility) with the Web:
</p><p>
-Like the Web, the U-Web has an open protocol and notation, meaning that all the above
-functionality can be implemented by many separate groups of developers - no-one will own
+Like the Web, the U-Web is based on open standards, meaning that all the above
+functionality can be implemented by many separate groups of developers. No-one will own
the U-Web - or have to do all the work themselves! It will allow anyone to join in and
-offer interactive content - an unlimited ecosystem of mashups. The protocol and notation
-are for peer-to-peer multicast data rather than the Web's client-server documents.
-</p><p>
-The U-Web application is like a browser, except it's a two-way interactive and dynamic
-data viewer meant for mashups and having both 2D and 3D as a native render. It will have
-a tactile, intuitive interface optimised for people, media, times and places. In the
-U-Web, you, as a user of this application, are a first class entity, visible to others.
-The application will have access to all your machine capabilities such as PIM data,
+offer interactive content - an unlimited ecosystem of mashups. Specifically, the U-Web
+has an open protocol and notation for peer-to-peer multicast data updates, rather than
+the Web's client-server document publishing.
+</p><p>
+The U-Web application is like a browser, except that, instead of a Web browser's essentially
+one-way static document viewing, it's a two-way interactive and dynamic data viewer
+meant for mashups and having both 2D and 3D as a native render. It will have a tactile,
+intuitive interface optimised for people, media, times and places, rather than for
+linear text. Unlike in the Web, in the U-Web, you, as a user of this application, are a
+first class dynamic entity, visible to others. Unlike a Web browser, the U-Web
+application will natively have access to all your machine capabilities such as PIM data,
Media, GPS coordinates, accelerometer, vibration, telephony and camera.

-<h3>What Cilux may look like</h3>
-</p><p>
-Here's a mockup of what Cilux may look like. Of course, it will have Maemo, not Windows
-Mobile, status bars, etc.
+See <a href="http://the-u-web.org/">the U-Web site</a> for more details about the U-Web.

+<a href="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cilux/">Cilux</a> is a U-Web "Exchange": a

+targeted at MIDs and smartphones with OpenGL ES 2.0, such as Maemo 5 and the Omnia HD.
+The above screen view will show Maemo or Symbian status bars, etc, not the Windows Mobile
