 Introduction
 ============
 
-**NOTE:** See the FAQ for information about using celery outside of Django.
+Celery is a distributed task queue. It was first created for Django, but
+is now usable from Python. It can also operate with other languages
+via HTTP+JSON. This introduction is written for someone who wants to use
+Celery from within a Django project. For information about using it from
+pure Python see `Can I use Celery without Django?`_, for calling out to other
+languages see `Executing tasks on a remote web server`_.
 
-``celery`` is a distributed task queue framework for Django/Python.
