 # About
 Etherpad lite is a really-real time collaborative editor spawned from the Hell fire of Etherpad. 
 We're reusing the well tested Etherpad easysync library to make it really realtime. Etherpad Lite 
-is based on node.js what makes it much lighter and more stable than the original Etherpad. Our hope 
-is that this will encourage more users to install a realtime collaborative editor. A smaller and well 
-documented codebase makes it easier for developers to improve the code. Etherpad Lite is optimized 
-to be easy embeddable. Look at our [FAQ Page](https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/wiki/FAQ)

+Etherpad Lite is optimized to be easy embeddable. It provides a [HTTP API](https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/wiki/HTTP-API) 
+that allows your web application to manage pads, users and groups. 
+You can use this [PHP Client](https://github.com/TomNomNom/etherpad-lite-client) to work with the API 
+(If you don't want to use PHP, feel free to create a client for your favourite web development language). 
+There is also a [jQuery plugin](https://github.com/johnyma22/etherpad-lite-jquery-plugin) that helps you to embed Pads into your website

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### It fails while installing the sqlite dependency
-The sqlite package of some Linux versions (including debian lenny) is too old. We need sqlite >=3.6. You have to use a PPA or debian backports. You find sqlite packages for Ubuntu Hardy [here](https://launchpad.net/~mirabilos/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1304941/+listing-archive-extra), Debian Backports can be found [here](http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/#index1h2)
-
-### It fails while installing the express dependency, it says my node version is wrong
-You might have installed node.js version 0.5. You can check that with `node --version`. Please reinstall node 0.4.x
-
-### My installation process stopped, now it doesn't work anymore, what can I do?
-Remove the node_modules folder. This forces run.sh to reinstall all dependencies
-
 ## Next Steps
-You can modify the settings in the file settings.json
+You can modify the settings in the file `settings.json`
 
 You can update to the latest version with `git pull origin`. The next start with bin/run.sh will update the dependencies
