+Amaya is a Web editor, i.e. a tool used to create and update documents directly
+on the Web. Browsing features are seamlessly integrated with the editing and
+remote access features in a uniform environment. This follows the original
+vision of the Web as a space for collaboration and not just a one-way
+publishing medium.
+
+Work on Amaya started at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a
+fully-featured Web client. The main motivation for developing Amaya was to
+provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible.
+It is used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage
+of their combination in a single, consistent environment.
+
+Amaya started as an HTML + CSS style sheets editor. Since that time it was
+extended to support XML and an increasing number of XML applications such as
+the XHTML family, MathML, and SVG. It allows all those vocabularies to be
+edited simultaneously in compound document \ No newline at end of file
