Thanks for reaching out, Mike.
I had considered adding something about what YARN is, but figured those
who care about Slider probably know what YARN is :)
The recommendations are well received and I'll make a note to be a bit
more specific in future releases.

Congratulations on your release!
I recommend changing your description to make it clearer what Slider
is for. It's not clear what YARN is from your description, and
googling "Yarn" isn't necessarily going to turn up any results about
Hadoop. I've never working with "big data", but maybe adding
"Apache Hadoop" in front of YARN would be sufficient. An ideal
description would include a concise description of YARN as well, but
that seems to be difficult, according to the YARN page.

Apache Slider (incubating) is an Apache Hadoop YARN application which
deploys existing distributed applications on YARN, monitors them, and
makes them larger or smaller as desired - even while the application
is running.

Note that I'm not on the dev mailing list, so you'll have to cc me
back (although no response is necessary or expected).
