+gevent_ is a Python networking library that uses greenlet_ to provide synchronous API on top of libevent_ event loop.
 
 Features include:
 
-* convenient API around greenlets (gevent.Greenlet)
-* familiar synchronization primitives (gevent.event, gevent.queue)
-* socket module that cooperates (gevent.socket)
-* WSGI server on top of libevent-http (gevent.wsgi)
-* DNS requests done through libevent-dns
-* monkey patching utility to get pure Python modules to cooperate (gevent.monkey)
+* Fast event loop based on libevent_.
+* Lightweight execution units based on greenlet_.
+* Familiar API that re-uses concepts from the Python standard library.
+* Cooperative sockets with ssl support.
+* DNS queries performed through libevent-dns.
+* Ability to use standard library and 3rd party modules written for standard blocking sockets
+* Fast WSGI server based on libevent-http.
