-MSG was the first distributed programming environment provided within SimGrid,
-and is still the most commonly used nowadays. If you are unsure of the interface
-you should use, they you probably want to use MSG. It constitutes a convenient
-simplification of the reality of distributed systems. It can be used to build
-rather realistic simulations, but remains simple to use: most unpleasant
-technical elements can be abstracted away rather easily. If you want to use the
-C programming language, your are in the right section. If you prefer not to use
-this venerable but demanding language, please refer to the @ref MSG_Java section.

+@page MSG_API MSG: Simple API for CSP Algorithms
+@brief Simple programming environment
-If you think that MSG may not be the interface you need, please consider the
-other user interfaces provided by SimGrid: If you want to use DAGs, have a look
-at the \ref SD_API programming environment. If you want to study an existing MPI
-program, have a look at the \ref SMPI_API one. If none of those programming
-environments fits your needs, you may consider implementing your own directly on
-top of \ref SIMIX_API, or even on top of \ref SURF_API (but you want to contact
-us before digging into these badly documented internal modules).
+MSG is a simple API to write algorithms organized with Concurrent
+Sequential Processes (CSP) that interact by exchanging messages. It
+constitutes a convenient simplification of the reality of distributed
+systems. It can be used to build rather realistic simulations, but
+remains simple to use: most unpleasant technical elements can be
+abstracted away rather easily.
+If you are unsure, then you probably want to use MSG. Otherwise, you
+may want to use one of the following:
+ - MSG in Java instead of C: @ref MSG_Java.
+ - If you want to use DAGs: @ref SD_API.
+ - If you want to study a MPI application: @ref SMPI_API.
