+## About
 
-CORE is a tool for emulating networks using a GUI or Python scripts. The CORE
-project site (1) is a good source of introductory information, with a manual,
-screenshots, and demos about this software. The GitHub project (2) hosts the
-source repos, wiki, and bug tracker. There is a deprecated
-Google Code page (3) with the old wiki, blog, bug tracker, and quickstart guide.
+The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating
+networks on one or more machines. You can connect these emulated
+networks to live networks. CORE consists of a GUI for drawing
+topologies of lightweight virtual machines, and Python modules for
+scripting network emulation.
