+      The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
+
+        * It's a free flash-card tool which optimizes your learning process.
+        * It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
+
+      We strive to provide a clear, uncluttered piece of software, easy to use
+      and to understand for newbies, but still infinitely customisable through
+      plugins and scripts for power users.
+
+      ## Efficient learning
+
+      Mnemosyne uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for
+      a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget
+      quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your
+      time on things you remember well.
+
+      ## Memory research
+
+      If you want, anonymous statistics on your learning process can be
+      uploaded to a central server for analysis. This data will be valuable to
+      study the behaviour of our memory over a very long time period. The
+      results will be used to improve the scheduling algorithms behind the
+      software even further.
