 The Leiden Classical project has implemented a system allowing users
 to submit jobs, including uploading their own input files.
-
-You can restrict which applications these jobs can use,
-which users can submit jobs,
-and how many outstanding jobs each user may have.
-
 Users are provided with an interface showing them the status
 of queued jobs, and allowing them to download result files.
+Thus, their project is a resource for education as well as research.
 
-This code is included in the BOINC source code distribution
-(in the [source:trunk/boinc/html/queue html/queue] directory)
-but must be installed manually.
-Please read and understand the code thoroughly before using it.
-In particular, make sure that it doesn't introduce any
-security risks.
-You may need to adapt the code to your own project.
+The code for this job-submission system is included in the BOINC source code distribution,
+in the [source:trunk/boinc/html/queue html/queue] directory,
+for use by projects that want to allow user job submission.

+Notes:
+
+ * Carefully consider the security risks of using this code. Your application must handle arbitrary (possibly malicious) input files without doing anything unwanted. Use at your own risk.
+
+ * The code is not installed by make_project or upgrade; you must install it manually.
+
+ * You can restrict which applications user-submitted jobs can use, which users can submit jobs, and how many outstanding jobs each user may have.
