+  Yaws is a HTTP high perfomance 1.1 webserver particularly well suited for
+  dynamic-content webapplications. Two separate modes of operations are
+  supported.
+
+  * Standalone mode where Yaws runs as a regular webserver daemon. This is the
+    default mode.
+
+  * Embedded mode where Yaws runs as an embedded webserver in another erlang
+    application.
+
+  Yaws is entirely written in Erlang furthermore it is a multithreaded
+  webserver where one Erlang light weight process is used to handle each
+  client.
+
+  The main advantages of yaws compared to other Web technologies are
+  performance and elegance. The performance comes from the underlying Erlang
+  system and its ability to handle concurrent processes in an efficent way.
+  Its elegance comes from Erlang as well.  Web applications dont have to be
+  written in ugly adhoc languages.
