  15                 <h1>Welcome to EmuFront!</h1>

  17                 <h2>About</h2>
  18                 <p>EmuFront is an universal (multi-system) computer and video game console emulator front-end implemented in
  19                 QT, C++ and SQLite targeted on Linux operating systems.
  20                 Although this project is currently hosted at Maemo Garage,
  21                 this is pure QT project and doesn't have any Maemo specific
  22                 dependencies. You can use EmuFront on any QT Linux platform. I'm
  23                 planning to release two GUI options PC and Mobile (MeeGo,
  24                 Maemo, ...)</p>
  25
  26                 <p>EmuFront is Open Source Software licenced under GPL version 2.</p>
