I myself had two minds, distributed computing is too broad and does not illustrate the project's focus, but adding examples made it too verbose. Unless you feel strongly it, I would prefer to leave it as is, it is broad enough for future increase in scope of project, at the same time it illustrates current focus. But if you and others are bothered with the length (which BTW I agree is certainly more verbose than needed), I can resurrect the discussion in dev list and choose the shorter version you suggested.
