 About this library
 -------------------
 
 Jenkins is the market leading continuous integration system, originally created by Kohsuke Kawaguchi.
 
-Jenkins (and It's predecessor Hudson) are useful projects for automating common development tasks (e.g. unit-testing, production batches) - but they are somewhat Java-centric. Thankfully the designers have provided an excellent and complete REST interface. This library wraps up that interface as more conventional python objects in order to make many Jenkins oriented tasks easier to automate.

+Jenkins (and its predecessor Hudson) are useful projects for automating common development tasks (e.g. unit-testing, production batches) - but they are somewhat Java-centric.
+| Jenkinsapi makes scripting Jenkins tasks a breeze by wrapping the REST api into familiar python objects.
+| Here is a list of some of the most commonly used functionality
 
-* Ability to add/remove/query Jenkins jobs
-* Ability to execute jobs and:
+* Add, remove, and query Jenkins jobs
+* Control pipeline execution
     * Query the results of a completed build
     * Block until jobs are complete or run jobs asyncronously
     * Get objects representing the latest builds of a job
-* Work with build artifacts:
+* Artifact management
     * Search for artifacts by simple criteria
     * Install artifacts to custom-specified directory structures
-* Ability to search for builds by source code revision
-* Ability to add/remove/query:
-    * Slaves (Webstart and SSH slaves)
+* Search for builds by source code revision
+* Create, destroy, and monitor
+    * Build nodes (Webstart and SSH slaves)
     * Views (including nested views using NestedViews Jenkins plugin)
     * Credentials (username/password and ssh key)
-* Username/password auth support for jenkins instances with auth turned on
-* Ability to script jenkins installation including plugins
-
-For a full documentation spec of what this library supports see: http://jenkinsapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
+* Authentication support for username and password
+* Manage jenkins and plugin installation
