It might help to have a paragraph of a straightforward explanation of what ondsel is. I can help write copy if you give me what you think a good introductory paragraph might be to describe what it is/what we're doing.

Ondsel is an engineering design suite. Based on FreeCAD, it includes a 3D parametric modeler and capability for many specific engineering and manufacturing tasks such as assembly, Computer-Aided Machinging (CAM), Finite Element Analysis (FEM), and Technical drawing. Ondsel also includes web-based file-sharing and collaboration tool which connects to our "lens" website. With this, you can share your designs with non-Ondsel users.
