 INTRODUCTION

-This suite is primarily a set of APIs and tools to improve the developer
-experience. It also contains a module called the Page Manager whose job is
-to manage pages. In particular it manages panel pages, but as it grows it
-will be able to manage far more than just Panels.
+The Chaos tool suite (ctools) module is primarily a set of APIs and tools to
+improve the developer experience. It also contains a module called the Page
+Manager whose job is to manage pages. In particular it manages panel pages, but
+as it grows it will be able to manage far more than just Panels.
+
+The Chaos Tool Suite (ctools) is a series of tools that makes code readily
+available for developers and creates libraries for other modules to use. Modules
+that use ctools include Views and Panels.
+
+End users will use ctools as underlying user interface libraries when operating
+Views and Panels modules and will not need to explore further (ctools is geared
+more toward developer usage). Developers will use the module differently and
+work more with the tools provided.
+
+For the moment, it includes the following tools:
 
- * For a full description of the module, visit the project page:
+ * Plugins -- tools to make it easy for modules to let other modules implement
+   plugins from .inc files.
+ * Exportables -- tools to make it easier for modules to have objects that live
+   in database or live in code, such as 'default views'.
+ * AJAX responder -- tools to make it easier for the server to handle AJAX
+   requests and tell the client what to do with them.
+ * Form tools -- tools to make it easier for forms to deal with AJAX.
+ * Object caching -- tool to make it easier to edit an object across multiple
+   page requests and cache the editing work.
+ * Contexts -- the notion of wrapping objects in a unified wrapper and providing
+   an API to create and accept these contexts as input.
+ * Modal dialog -- tool to make it simple to put a form in a modal dialog.
+ * Dependent -- a simple form widget to make form items appear and disappear
+   based upon the selections in another item.
+ * Content -- pluggable content types used as panes in Panels and other modules
+   like Dashboard.
+ * Form wizard -- an API to make multi-step forms much easier.
+ * CSS tools -- tools to cache and sanitize CSS easily to make user-input CSS
+   safe.
