+The Bitweaver application Framework offers a complete suite of core features in a higher modular design. The Bitweaver Framework is designed specifically for developer flexibility. To understand how Bitweaver is designed, you must understand that it is completely modular, on multiple levels.
+
+All parts of Bitweaver are encapsulated in what we call Packages. ((bitweaverPackage|Bitweaver Packages)) are the largest grain of our modular architecture, they are intended to be large collections of features, such as the ((WikiPackage|Wiki Package)) or the ((BlogsPackage|Blogs Package)).
+
+Bitweaver has a set of required packages needed to be fully operational. These are refered to as the "core". The core includes:
+*The ((KernelPackage|Kernel Package)) is responsible for the setting up the database and manages package configuration.
+*the ((LibertyPackage|Liberty Package)) is a handful of well designed base classes that are intended to be inherited from. By extending the classes, you get all the power of liberty - access control, content history, formatting like wiki parsing, HTML scrubbing, and more - without having to write any of the code yourself.
+*The ((Themes Package|Themes Package)) manages the theming of your site
+*The ((UsersPackage|Users Package)) manages user data
