+	  CppCMS is a Free High Performance Web Development Framework
+	  (not a CMS) aimed for Rapid Web Application Development. It
+	  differs from most of other web development frameworks like:
+	  Python Django or Java Servlets on  the following aspects:
+
+           - It is designed and tuned to handle extremely high loads.
+	   - It uses modern C++ as primary development language in
+	     order to achieve the above goal.
+           - It is aimed on development of both Web Sites and Web
+             Services.
