Autopackage @ LinuxTag in Berlin

I've just recieved an E-Mail that Autopackage qualified for a
sponsored booth at this year's LinuxTag (
http://www.linuxtag.org/2009/ ). I'm not sure if that means that we
already got one for sure though. Anyway, I will have to start working
on completing the project's profile and could need some help ;-).

I have to enter a description in Englisch. This is what I've got so far:



Autopackage is intended to be used for installing non-core
applications such as word processors, web browsers, and personal
computer games, rather than core libraries and applications.
Its goal is to make it possible to create only one package for all
kinds of Linux distribution. For example an Autopackage only needs one
package for 32 bit and 64 bit machines.

Autopackage is a complementary system to a distribution's usual
packaging system, such as RPM and deb. When an Autopackage contains
files already installed by the package manager, the existing files
will be backed up and restored when removing the Autopackage.

It's possible to install Autopackages into the home directory without
root access. Therefore it's more safe to install software from an
untrusted source with an Autopackage rather then the package manager.
Furthermore because Autopackage is a real package format it's more
robust against bugs and compatibility issues then binary installers.



Please check against spelling and grammar mistakes and tell me your
suggestions :)
