-The SvxLink project is developing a flexible, general purpose voice
-services system for ham radio use.
-The SvxLink Server consists of a core that handles the connection to
-the transceiver. The core can be configured to act as a repeater
-controller or to operate on a simplex channel. The voice services are
-loaded into the core as plugins.
-The project also includes an EchoLink client GUI application (Qtel).

-The biggest news in this release is the initial revision of the
-SvxReflector application. The SvxReflector application is meant to be used
-as a center point to link SvxLink nodes together.
+The SvxLink Server is a general purpose voice services system,
+which when connected to a transceiver, can act as both an advanced repeater
+system and can also operate on a simplex channel. One could call it a radio
+operating system since it sits between the hardware (transceiver) and the
+applications (modules) and handle basic system services as well as input and output.
+
+SvxLink is very extensible and modular. Voice services are implemented as modules
+which are isolated from each other. Modules can be implemented in either C++ or TCL.
+
+The project also includes Qtel, the Qt EchoLink client, is a graphical
+application used to access the EchoLink network.

+This release includes a new revision of the SvxReflector application, which is
