-\subsection quick_dl Getting and installing the software
-
- The official webpage is <a href="http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/">simgrid.gforge.inria.fr</a>.
+ - The Frequently Asked Questions are <a href="faq.html">here</a>.
- The development webpage is <a href="https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/simgrid//">gforge.inria.fr/projects/simgrid</a>.
- The user mailing list is <simgrid-user@lists.gforge.inria.fr>
- - The SimGrid software package can be downloaded from <a href="https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=12">here</a>.
-
-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].
-
-\verbatim $ ./configure
- $ make all
- [become root]
- # make install\endverbatim

-\subsection quick_more More information
-
-The API (along with some example of
-use) is described in \ref SimGrid_API.
-
-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
- SimGrid toolkit or using and validating it.

very low-level and is not intended to be used as such by end-users. Instead,
it serve as a basis for the higher level layer.
