+(RMS). Its goal is the be the reference implementation of an RMS as specified
+by the <a href="http://www.openprivacy.org">OpenPrivacy</a> project.
<p>
-Sierra's main goal is to free uses and developers from the tasks of worrying
-about communication protocols and framework design. Sierra introduces the
-concept of a ReputationCalculationEngine (RCE). An RCE is a plug-in which snaps
-into Sierra so that RCE implementations don't have to worry about basic
-reputation issues (communication, persistence, composition, etc).

+ system.
-</ul>
+ <li>Works with any network architecture including P2P, client-server, and
+ stand alone configurations.
-<h3>Get Involved</h3>
+ <li>Provides a standardized RMS framework.
