+%description
+Enki is a text editor for programmers. It is:
+
+    - User friendly. Intuitive interface. Works out of the box. You don’t have
+      to read a lot of docs.
+    - Hacker friendly. Work as quickly as possible. Navigate efficiently without
+      your mouse.
+    - Advanced. You invent software. An editor helps you focus on inventing,
+      instead of fighting with your tools.
+    - Extensible. Operating systems are designed for running applications. Enki
+      is designed for running plugins.
+    - Cross platform. Use your habitual editor on any OS. Tested on Linux and
+      Windows. Users report that Enki works Mac OS X.
+    - High quality. No long list of fancy features. But, what is done, is done
+      well.
+    - Open source. Created, tested, and designed for the community, by the
+      community, and with the community.
