How about this:

Description: File and directory monitoring system
- Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a
- subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system.
+ Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system which allows
+ applications to detect when a file or a directory has been added,
+ removed or modified by somebody else.
+ .
+ It can be used by desktops like KDE or GNOME to have their virtual file
+ systems keep track of changes to files and directories. For example,
+ if a file manager displays a directory to the user, and the user
+ removes one of the files via the command-line, gamin will notify the
+ file manager of this change so that it can update the directory
+ display.
+ .
+ Gamin has been designed as a drop-in replacement for FAM with security
+ and maintainability in mind and can use Linux's advanced inotify
+ service when available.
