+		<h3>Description</h3>
 		<p>
 		dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
 		</p>
-		<h2>Differences to wmii</h2	
-		<p>
-		In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
-		Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
-		<b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
-		</p>
-		<ul>
-			<li>9P support</li>
-			<li>status bar</li>
-			<li>menu</li>
-			<li>editable tagbars</li>
-			<li>shell-based config/control file</li>
-			<li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
-		</ul>
-		<p>
-		dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
-		exceed 2000 SLOC.
-		</p>
-		<p>
-		dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
-		extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
-		hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
-		</p>
+		<h4>Philosophy</h4>
 		<p>
-		dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
-		than wmii or larswm).
+		As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that
+		wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features
+		and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only
+		want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got
+		finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I
+		considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a
+		href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a> development model,
+		which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply <i>to fit my
+		needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it.
 		</p>
+		<h4>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h4>
 		<p>
-		dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
-		layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
-		managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
-		fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. 
-		</p>
-		<p>
-		dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
-		estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
-		clients.
+		In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler.
 		</p>

+			<li>
+			dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no menu, no editable
+			tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes
+			without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping
+			the mouse.

+			<li>
+			dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however
+			simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in
+			tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically,
+			depending on the application in use and the task performed.

+			dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
+			tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in

+			dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
+			extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data
+			which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names
+			and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn
+			Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X
+			resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs,
+			you <b>only</b> have to learn C (at least editing header files).
+			</li>
+			<li>
+			Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's
+			pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase
+			small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
