 With PF4J you can easily transform a monolithic java application in a modular application.  
 PF4J is an open source (Apache license) lightweight (around __100 KB__) plugin framework for java, with minimal dependencies (only slf4j-api) and very extensible (see `PluginDescriptorFinder` and `ExtensionFinder`).   
 
-Practically PF4J is a microframework and the aim is to keep the core simple but extensible. I try to create a little ecosystem (extensions) based on this core with the help of the community.  
+Practically, PF4J is a microframework that aims to keep the core simple but extensible. We also have a community-driven ecosystem of extensions.
 For now are available these extensions:
 - [pf4j-update](https://github.com/pf4j/pf4j-update) (update mechanism for PF4J)
 - [pf4j-spring](https://github.com/pf4j/pf4j-spring) (PF4J - Spring Framework integration)
