-\section{Requirements}
+In the remainder of this article, we describe the Einstein Toolkit, a collection
+of freely available and easy-to-use computational codes for numerical
+relativity and relativistic astrophysics. The code details and example
+results present in this article represent the state of the Einstein
+Toolkit in its release ET\_2011\_05 ``Curie,'' released on April 21,
+2011. In Sections~\ref{sec:requirements}
+and~\ref{sec:design_and_strategy} we describe the goals and overall
+design principles of the Einstein Toolkit.
+Section~\ref{sec:core_technologies} provides a high-level overview of
+the core components used in the Einstein Toolkit. The core components form the
+basis of the toolkit and define the environment that a toolkit user works in.
+Section~\ref{sec:components}, one of the two main section of this article,
+contains a detailed description of the major components of the toolkit. Each
+component's function is explained and, if applicable, the physical system it
+models is introduced. The next major section, Section~\ref{sec:examples},
+contains a set of sample results obtained using the toolkit's components.
+Examples from numerical relativity, astrophysics and cosmolology are provided.

 To demonstrate the properties of the code and its capabilities, we have used it to simulate common astrophysical configurations of interest.  Given the community-oriented direction of the project, the parameter files required to launch these simulations and a host of others are included and documented in the code releases, along with the data files produced by a representative set of simulation parameters to allow for code validation and confirmation of correct code performance on new platforms and architectures.  As part of the internal validation process, 
 nightly builds are checked against a set of benchmarks to ensure that consistent results are generated with the inclusion of all new commits to the code.
