+### Package-based container builds
 This project aims to find a solution for creating and managing containers in a package-centric manner.
+In this context a package is both a definition of how to build (e.g. a Gentoo ebuild or Debian control file)
 Every container will be able to specify their dependencies, which can be self-built packages or exact versions of already existing packages.
-Like this the user will always exactly know what libraries, files, etc. is available to his container at runtime.
-The specified container will have it's dependencies on packages which themselves can be packaged separately into one container per package.

 ### Source-based builds
-To allow maximum flexibility for the users, the package files must be able to describe source builds, which allows the user to make changes to the source before the package is built and integrated into the target container image.

 ### Reproducibility
 Builds of packages, as well as builds of container images, must be reproducible in a way that the same input always yields the same output.

 These can differ in properties like source code patches, build configuration options, target architecture, etc.. 
 
 ### Portability of the whole system
-As a portable system, builds can be processed locally on a users workstation or distributed to a bunch of servers.

 ### Shareable source and binary files
 The build system will ship tools that make it easy to discover and share source and binary files that are respectively consumed and produced by the build system.
