The web site blurb needs fixing

"Welcome to ERights.org, home of E,
the secure distributed pure-object platform
and p2p scripting language
for writing Capability-based Smart Contracts."
   -- erights.org

This has always made me wince. It is sufficiently peculiar that I fear  
it is driving away potential users.

Particularly, what is a "Smart Contract"? The way it's phrased, it  
sounds like this is possibly *all* E is about.

Unfortunately I don't have a good suggestion on how to really improve  
it, but we can start, IMO, by getting rid of the last clause.

"Welcome to ERights.org, home of E,
the secure distributed pure-object platform
and p2p scripting language."

I will make this change if I get agreement or no objection. I would  
also like to hear suggestions for other improvements.


(Speaking of p2p, we really need a working NAT-bypass strategy --  
that's most of why I'm not using/writing any distributed apps right  
now.)
