Yes, I have a to-do to someday redo the intro to the documentation - but - there a little marketing seems less objectionable. :-) I was thinking that maybe the readme should be drier. :-)

Ah, I just submitted the patch, but I'll make a revision. Did we want to
update that wording elsewhere though? I just copied that intro paragraph
from the introduction to the documentation.

Looks pretty good to me!  I might do a little rewording to make it a
little less marketing-sounding, e.g.:

CURRENT:
AsterixDB is a full-function BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a rich
feature set that distinguishes it from pretty much any other Big Data
platform that's out and available today.  We believe that its feature set
makes it well-suited to modern needs such as web data warehousing and
social data storage and analysis.

NEW:
AsterixDB is a BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a rich feature set
that sets it apart from other Big Data platforms.  Its feature set makes it
well-suited to modern needs such as web data warehousing and social data
storage and analysis.

Any objections? If not I am going to re-apply Till's +2 and merge this
today.

  As discussed in the meeting, here is the change proposal for the Github
readme for the project. https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/#/c/256/ .
Please feel free to add comments, I'm posting it here in lieu of adding
absolutely everyone to the review.

Thanks,
