Description

It is really sad when the wikipedia article about your software does a better job of explaining what it is than the front page of your website. The pythonpaste.org main page needs a description above the contents.

Change History

Me too. The web-page is a little user-hostile for people try to get started.

In this description or About page, explain somewhere why it is called "Paste", a little of its history, where it is used, and also why the executable is called "paster".

(I have to admit, I am still working on not getting hung up on why I am running an HTTP server called "paster", which has nothing to do with cutting-and-pasting that I can see.)
