-\subsection overview_fondation Base layer
-
-The base of the whole toolkit is constituted by the <b>\ref XBT_API
-(eXtended Bundle of Tools)</b>.
-
-It is a portable library providing some grounding features such as \ref
-XBT_log, \ref XBT_ex and \ref XBT_config. XBT also encompass
-the following convenient datastructures: \ref XBT_dynar, \ref XBT_fifo, \ref
-XBT_dict, \ref XBT_heap, \ref XBT_set and \ref XBT_swag.

-See the \ref XBT_API section for more details.

-\subsection overview_kernel Simulation kernel layer
-
-The core functionnalities to simulate a virtual platform are provided by a
-module called <b>\ref SURF_API</b> ("that's historical, my friend"). It is
-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.

\subsection overview_envs Programmation environments layer
-This simulation kernel is used to build several programmation environments.
-Each of them target a specific audiance and constitute a different paradigm.
-To choose which of them you want to use, you have to think about what you
-want to do and what would be the result of your work.
+SimGrid provides several programmation environments built on top of a uniq
+simulation kernel. Each environment targets a specific audiance and
+constitutes a different paradigm. To choose which of them you want to use,
+you have to think about what you want to do and what would be the result of
+your work.
- If you want to study a theoritical problem and compare several
heuristics, you probably want to try <b>\ref MSG_API</b> (yet another
