+
+Fossil is a simple, high-reliability, distributed
+[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_configuration_management | SCM]
+system with these advanced features:
+
+  1.  <b>Project Management</b> —
+      In addition to doing [./concepts.wiki | distributed version control]
+      like Git and Mercurial,
+      Fossil also supports [./bugtheory.wiki | bug tracking],
+      [./wikitheory.wiki | wiki], [./forum.wiki | forum],
+      [./alerts.md|email alerts], [./chat.md | chat], and
+      [./event.wiki | technotes].
+
+  2.  <b>Built-in Web Interface</b> —
+      Fossil has a built-in, [/skins | themeable], [./serverext.wiki | extensible],
+      and intuitive [./webui.wiki | web interface]
+      with a rich variety of information pages
+      ([./webpage-ex.md|examples]) promoting situational awareness.
+      <br><br>
+      This entire website is just a running instance of Fossil.
+      The pages you see here are all [./wikitheory.wiki | wiki] or
+      [./embeddeddoc.wiki | embedded documentation] or (in the case of
+      the [/uv/download.html|download] page)
+      [./unvers.wiki | unversioned files].
+      When you clone Fossil from one of its
+      [./selfhost.wiki | self-hosting repositories],
+      you get more than just source code — you get this entire website.
+
+  3.  <b>All-in-one</b> —
+      Fossil is a single self-contained, stand-alone executable.
+      To install, simply download a
+      [/uv/download.html | precompiled binary]
+      for Linux, Mac, or Windows and put it on your $PATH.
+      [./build.wiki | Easy-to-compile source code] is also available.
+
+
+  4.  <b>Self-host Friendly</b> — Stand up a project website
+      in minutes using [./server/ | a variety of techniques].
+      Fossil is CPU and memory efficient. Most projects can be
+      hosted comfortably on a $5/month VPS or a Raspberry Pi.
+      You can also set up an automatic
+      [./mirrortogithub.md | GitHub mirror].
+
+  5.  <b>Simple Networking</b> —
+      Fossil uses ordinary HTTPS (or SSH if you prefer)
+      for network communications, so it works fine from behind
+      firewalls and [./quickstart.wiki#proxy|proxies].
+      The protocol is
+      [./stats.wiki | bandwidth efficient] to the point that Fossil can be
+      used comfortably over dial-up, weak 3G, or airliner Wifi.
+
+  6.  <b>Autosync</b> —
+      Fossil supports [./concepts.wiki#workflow | "autosync" mode]
+      which helps to keep projects moving
+      forward by reducing the amount of needless
+      [./branching.wiki | forking and merging] often
+      associated with distributed projects.
+
+  7.  <b>Robust &amp; Reliable</b> —
+      Fossil stores content using an [./fileformat.wiki | enduring file format]
+      in an SQLite database so that transactions are
+      atomic even if interrupted by a power loss or system crash.
+      Automatic [./selfcheck.wiki | self-checks] verify that all aspects of
+      the repository are consistent prior to each commit.
+
+  8.  <b>Free and Open-Source</b> — [../COPYRIGHT-BSD2.txt|2-clause BSD license].
