 ------------------------------------------------------------
 
+The guacamole-server package is a set of software which forms the basis of the
+Guacamole stack. It consists of guacd, libguac, and several protocol support
+libraries.
+
 guacd is the Guacamole proxy daemon used by the Guacamole web application and
 framework. As JavaScript cannot handle binary protocols (like VNC and remote
 desktop) efficiently, a new test-based protocol was developed which would
-contain a common superset of the operations needed for efficient remote
-desktop access, but would be easy for JavaScript programs to process. guacd
-is the proxy which translates between arbitrary protocols and the Guacamole
-protocol.
