+;; Elpher aims to provide a practical and friendly gopher client
+;; for GNU Emacs. It supports:
-;; - intuitive keyboard and mouse-driven interface,
-;; - caching of visited sites (both content and cursor position),
+;; - intuitive keyboard and mouse-driven browsing,
+;; - out-of-the-box compatibility with evil-mode,
+;; - clickable web and gopher links *in plain text*,
+;; - caching of visited sites,
;; - pleasant and configurable colouring of Gopher directories,
;; - direct visualisation of image files,
-;; - (m)enu key support, similar to Emacs' info browser,
-;; - clickable web and gopher links in plain text,
-;; - a simple bookmark management system.
-
-;; Visited pages are stored as a hierarchy rather than a linear history,
-;; meaning that navigation between these pages is quick and easy.
+;; - a simple bookmark management system,
+;; - connections using TLS encryption.
;; To launch Elpher, simply use 'M-x elpher'. This will open a start
;; page containing information on key bindings and suggested starting
;; points for your gopher exploration.
-;; Faces, caching and other options can be configured via
-;; the Elpher customization group in Applications.
+;; Full instructions can be found in the Elpher info manual.
+
+;; Elpher is under active development. Any suggestions for
+;; improvements are welcome!
