However, I decided to change the start page a bit, removing the by now slightly weird "eMule origin story" and donkey comparisions in favor for some short stream lined explanation of what eMule actually is.
Any translation of that to our countless languages would be very welcome Just post the translated text as answer and I'll update it as soon as possible.
