`CubicWeb` - The Semantic Web is a construction game!
=====================================================

-Its main features:
+Its main features are:
-* an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
-* a query language similar to W3C's SPARQL,
-* a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
-* a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
-* the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,

+Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, supporting 100,000s of
+daily visits at some production sites, `CubicWeb` is a proven end to end solution
+for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and
efficiency.
