-ScummVM offers 8 freeware games for download, but they need to be downloaded and installed manually. It would be great to develop a universal system which would let us descibe a game, e.g. provide screenshots, game descriptions, metadata, and package it for different platforms, so we could put them to different applicaiton distribution systems.
+ScummVM offers 8 freeware games for download, but they need to be downloaded and installed manually. It would be great to develop a universal system which would let us describe a game, e.g. provide screenshots, game descriptions, metadata, and package it for different platforms, so we could put them to different application distribution systems bundled together with ScummVM. For example, we could have Beneath a Steel Sky bundled together with ScummVM, with its own logo, description and instructions on how to add another game along the way.
+Potentially and in the future this system could also be used for DLC on platforms which support it, like Steam, Android Play Store or Apple App Store, though support for Android and iOS is out of scope for this project.
 Examples are: Linux packages, Google Play, Apple App Store, Steam, ForgeTV store, and anything beyond that.
