What does the current documentation state?

Where is this stated? This is the link to the section of the documentation that needs urgent attention.

Why do you want to improve the statement? As a new contributor, understanding FLINT deeply would equip me fully to making better contribution to the FLINT project. Without understanding what FLINT is all about, I doubt a very valuable contribution can be made towards the project.

Secondly, understanding FLINT would help me in handling issues, that is, making PRs to resolve issues.

Proposed statement The documentation should be updated to include the details that are missing in the documentation on understanding FLINT.

Additional info I have once mentioned this to @HarshBardhan and he did mention to attend to it. But, I do think to make it more open to speed up work on it.

Also, I would love to help in updating the doc as regards this, but as I am still lacking significant knowledge of FLINT, I worry I will be able to make a contribution as regards this issue. Any suggestions to help me in making contributions thus, would be highly appreciated. Perhaps, someone to help me understand, then I create the documentation.
