+	<introduction>
+		<html:div>
+     		SMILA is an extensible framework for building search solutions to access unstructured information in
+			the enterprise. Besides providing essential infrastructure components and services, SMILA also delivers
+			ready-to-use add-on components, like connectors to most relevant data sources. Using the framework as their
+			basis will enable developers to concentrate on the creation of higher value solutions, like semantic driven
+			applications etc.

+	<target_environments>
+		<html:div>
+			SMILA depends on Equinox 3.3. For this release, the sources will be written and compiled against 1.5 JDK 
+			and designed to run on 1.5 Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. 
+		</html:div>
+		<internationalization>
+			<html:div>
+				Since SMILA offers only server-side components no special care has been taken for i18n issues.
+			</html:div>
+		</internationalization>
+	</target_environments>
+	<compatibility_with_previous_releases>
+		<html:div>
+			Due to the fact that SMILA had no previous releases there will be no compatibility issues.

+  	</compatibility_with_previous_releases>
+	<themes_and_priorities>
+		<preamble>
+			<html:div>
+				Since SMILA has not been published yet, certainly our highest priority is to publish 
+				the first milestone and thereby finally make visible the efforts that we made in the 
+				past twelve months. As soon as SMILA has been made available as a release preview 
+				(Milestone) we will concentrate ourselves on making SMILA production ready since the current
+				implementation already fulfills basic functional requirements.
