+Nikola, a Static Site and Blog Generator
+========================================
+
+In goes content, out comes a website, ready to deploy.
+
+Why Static Websites?
+--------------------
+
+Static websites are safer, use fewer resources, and avoid vendor and platform lockin.
+You can read more about this in the [Nikola Handbook.](http://nikola.ralsina.com.ar/handbook.html#why-static)
+
+What Can Nikola Do?
+-------------------
+
+It has many features, but here are some of the nicer ones:
+
+* Blogs, with tags, feeds, archives, comments, etc.
+* [Theming](http://nikola.ralsina.com.ar/theming.html)
+* Fast builds, thanks to [doit](http://python-doit.sf.net)
+* Flexible
+* Small codebase (programmers can understand all of Nikola in a couple of hours)
+* [reStructuredText](http://nikola.ralsina.com.ar/quickstart.html) or [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown) as input languages.
+* Easy [image galleries](http://nikola.ralsina.com.ar/galleries/demo/) (just drop files in a folder!)
+* Syntax highlighting for almost any programming language or markup
+* Multilingual sites
+* Doesn't reinvent wheels, leverages existing tools.
