+Description: Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (core)
+ This package contains the core libraries and command line interface
+ for the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC).
+ This infrastructure implements routines for the communication of
+ volunteer's computers with a project's server for the download of
+ workpackage and the upload of results. BOINC features several scientific
+ projects around the globe and many hundred thousand users have 
+ are regularly donating spare CPU time.

- The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
- software platform for distributed computing. A central server
- distributes work units and collects results via this client.
- When attaching a local machine to a project, this client will also 
- dynamically download the projects application's program to be then
- wrapped by the BOINC core client.
+ Project-specific code is downloaded separately, either manually or
+ automated by this client.
