 What is Rygel?
 =============
 
-Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) devices, implemented through a plug-in
-mechanism.
+Rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio, video and
+pictures, and control of media player on your home network. In technical terms
+it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer implemented through a plug-in
+mechanism. Interoperability with other devices in the market is achieved by
+conformance to very strict requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of
+media to format that client devices are capable of handling.
