+    <title>jQuery</title>
+    <para>
+      <systemitem class="library">jQuery</systemitem>is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.  It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.  With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Traditionally, a copy of jQuery has been included with every web application that requires it.  Starting with Fedora 21, many of those applications have migrated to a shared system copy of jQuery.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      If you are developing an application that uses jQuery on Fedora and don't want to download your own copy or rely on a third-party CDN, you can now install one of our jquery packages and use it instead.  You can find the 1.x branch of jQuery that supports Internet Explorer 6 in the js-jquery1 package, and the 2.x branch of jQuery that only works with modern web browsers in the js-jquery package.

+    <para>
+      For more information on using these packages in your applications, see <ulink url="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Web_Assets" />
