-<b>SimGrid 3.0.1 was released on 22st of October 2005. Get it from
-<a href="https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=12">here</a>.</b>
-
-\section quick Quick start
-
SimGrid is a toolkit that provides core functionalities for the simulation
of distributed applications in heterogeneous distributed environments.
+\htmlonly <!-- ______BODY_BEGIN______ --!> \endhtmlonly
The specific goal of the project is to facilitate research in the area of
distributed and parallel application scheduling on distributed computing
platforms ranging from simple network of workstations to Computational
Grids.

-To compile and install it, simply type the following. If you are not
-familiar with compiling C files under UNIX and using libraries, please check
-the \ref faq. SimGrid also works under Windows, but we do not distribute any
-pre-compiled binaries [yet].

-For more information about the SimGrid toolkit, please simply keep reading
-this page. It is organized as follow:
-
- - \ref overview : Presentation of the toolkit, of each of its components
- and of their interactions.
- - \ref people : Who is behind this project.
- - \ref publis : Some articles providing more details about the
