 `BlueBream <http://bluebream.zope.org>`_ is a web framework written
-in Python programming language.  BlueBream is the new name for "Zope
-3".  This package makes it easy to setup a new project using
-BlueBream.  It generates a project directory from a template called
-``bluebream``.  The template is created using `PasteScript
-<http://pythonpaste.org/script/developer.html>`_ by Ian Bicking.

 Features
 --------
 
-1. Generated project package includes ZTK with few additional
-   packages which was part of "Zope 3".
+A few of the features which distinguish BlueBream among Python web
+frameworks.
 
-2. Runnable Buildout
+- BlueBream is built on top of the `Zope Tool Kit
+  <http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit>`_ (ZTK), a distillation of
+  decades of experience in meeting demanding requirements for stable,
+  scalable software.
 
-3. Functional testing enabled by default using z3c.testsetup
+- BlueBream leverages the power of `Buildout
+  <http://www.buildout.org>`_ a build system written in Python.
+  
+- BlueBream uses the `ZODB <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ZODB3>`_
+  transactional object database, providing extremely powerful and
+  easy to use persistence.
+  
+- BlueBream uses `ZCML
+  <http://www.muthukadan.net/docs/zca.html#zcml>`_, an XML based
+  configuration language for registering components, providing
+  limitless flexibility. If you don't need the power of ZCML and the
+  complexity it adds, try `Grok <http://grok.zope.org>`_, which adds
+  a layer replacing the declarative configuration of ZCML with
+  conventions and declarations in standard Python.
 
-4. Use PasteDeploy to support WSGI based deployment.
+- BlueBream features the `Zope Component Architecture
+  <http://muthukadan.net/docs/zca.html>` (ZCA) which implements
+  *Separation of concerns* to create highly cohesive reusable
+  components (zope.component).
 
-5. Create a namespace package by default.
+- BlueBream supports `WSGI <http://www.wsgi.org/wsgi>`_ using `Paste
+  <http://pythonpaste.org>`_, `PasteScript
+  <http://pythonpaste.org/script>`, and `PasteDeploy
+  <http://pythonpaste.org/deploy>`.
+  
 
+- BlueBream includes a number of compenents which provide well tested
+  implementation of common requirements. A few are of these are:
+  
+  - zope.publisher_ publishes Python objects on the web, it is geared
+    towards `WSGI <http://www.wsgi.org/wsgi>` compatibility
+
+  - zope.security_ provides a generic mechanism supporting pluggable 
+    security policies
+
+  - zope.testing_ and zope.testbrowser_ offer unit and functional testing 
+    frameworks 
+
+  - zope.pagetemplate_ is an XHTML-compliant templating language
+
+  - zope.schema_ and zope.formlib_ provide a schema engine and 
+    automatic form generation machinery
