             Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
-            This manual gives you an idea of how to use the Yocto Project to
-            develop embedded Linux images and user-space applications to run on
-            targeted devices.

+            This manual provides information on how to use the Yocto Project to
+            develop embedded Linux images and user-space applications that

+            The manual provides an overview of image, kernel, and
             user-space application development using the Yocto Project.
             Because much of the information in this manual is general, it
             contains many references to other sources where you can find more
             detail.
-            For example, detailed information on Git, repositories and open
-            source in general can be found in many places.
-            Another example is how to get set up to use the Yocto Project,
-            which our Yocto Project Quick Start covers.
+            For example, you can find detailed information on Git, repositories, 
+            and open source in general in many places on the Internet.
+            Another example specific to the Yocto Project is how to quickly 
+            set up your host development system and build an image, which you

             <note>
                 By default, using the Yocto Project creates a Poky distribution.
                 However, you can create your own distribution by providing key
