           <h2>Security</h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>Taler is the electronic equivalent of cash, except harder to fake.
+             If your digital wallet is lost -- say because
+             your computer is irreparably damaged or compromised -- only the amount of coin
+             stored in your wallet will be lost. Unlike a physical wallet, you can make
+             backups of your digital wallet which can provide security against data loss.
+             So your digital wallet works mostly just like
+             a physical wallet, except online and without the need to manually count coins.</p>

           <h2>Privacy</h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>Your transactions are private, neither the mint (bank) nor merchant needs to
+             learn your identity. There is no need to give our credit card numbers or
+             other sensitive information, and the merchant will only be able to do
+             exactly the transaction you confirmed using your digital wallet.</p>

           <h2>Stability </h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>Coins in your digital wallet will be of the same denomination as the
+             cash in your physical wallet. So you will not have to worry about
+             currency fluctuations or conversion rates. Like a physical wallet,
+             you can carry digital coins of different currencies in your digital
+             wallet at the same time.</p>

           <h2>Efficient</h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>Taler uses efficient cryptographic primitives (such as RSA 2048 and
+             EdDSA) and is thus expected to be able to handle large transaction
+             volumes, only limited by the input/output capabilities of the
+             database. Thus, running a Taler mint should be profitable even
+             with very low (less than 1 cent) transaction fees (at appropriate
+             transaction volume).</p>

           <h2>Secure</h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>All transactions in Taler are secured using modern cryptography and
+             trust in all parties is minimized. Financial damage is bounded
+             (for customers, merchants and the mint) even
+             in the case that systems are compromised and private keys are stolen.
+             Databases can be audited for consistency, resulting in either the
+             detection of compromised systems or the demonstration that
+             participants were honest.</p>

           <h2>Business Model</h2>
-          <p>.</p>
+          <p>The basic business model for Taler is the operation of a mint.  A
+             mint converts money from traditional payment systems (Mastercard,
+             SEPA, Visa, BitCoin, ACH, SWIFT, etc.) to anonymous electronic
+             coins in the same currency. The customer can then redeem the electronic
+             coins at a merchant, who can exchange them for money represented using
+             traditional payment systems at the mint.  The mint can then charge
+             fees (to the customer, merchant or both) to facilitate the transactions.</p>
