+Litorgy enables *communication* between programming languages and
+between people.
+
+Litorgy provides:
+- communication between programs :: Data passes seamlessly between
+     different programming languages, text, and tables.
+- communication between people :: Data and calculations are embedded
+     in the same document as notes explanations and reports.
+
+** communication between programs

+*** interaction between languages (disk usage in your home directory)
 
 This will work for Linux and Mac users, not so sure about shell
 commands for windows users.
