First pas. We need something for the front-end user to explain the basics of what CLAW is and why it's better.
| * Parcelling out the various services and dependencies allows for more horizontal scalability | ||
| * Changing the relationship between Drupal and Fedora allows for a more flexible approach to front-end management (i.e, it need not be Drupal) while also taking much greater advantage of features available from Drupal (i.e, Fedora objects are treated more like nodes, for the purposes of using Drupal contrib modules. Many Islandora 7.x-1.x modules are redundant in Islandora CLAW because they reproduce existing Drupal contrib modules that can be used out of the box in Islandora CLAW). | ||
| * Easier to keep up-to-date as not all pices must be versioned together. | ||
| * Installations tools (ansible, Docker, Vagrant) can automate uniting the pieces in a simple, clean installation process. |

| The Islandora community has grown significantly since the project began, both in terms of users and contributors. For the first time, we are in a position to have a truly community-driven development process, in which any Islandora user can participate at whatever level fits their interests and abilities. Islandora CLAW has worked with the broader Islandora community to solicit use-cases, put forward prospectuses and project plans for review and editing, and has been developed with a mix of funding from Islandora Foundation members and volunteer developers working on sprints. | ||

| Islandora CLAW is developed _by_ the Islandora community, _for_ the Islandora community. As a member of the Islandora community, you can help to steer the direction it takes. |

An intro page with "about the Project" stuff and very broad descriptions or how it works and why it's better. Goes with #261
