Log:
Changes to home page:
1. Added a new features section
2. Moved the key features section further up and updated the content (most
visitors will be interested in the features we support - so need to give
prominence to this section)
3. Cropped the image so it fits nicely into the content
4. Minor changes to the CSS to reduce redundant spacing around paragraphs
5. Added a License link to the main menu (under project info)
6. Removed some redundant details (mailing list info and quick start guide
links are already available in main menu)

Synapse supports
several other content interchange formats, such as plain text, binary,

wide range of transport adapters available for Synapse, enables it to
communicate over many
application and transport layer protocols. As of now, Apache Synapse has
support for protocols
