Describe your documentation update

We've had some questions and feedback regarding explaining what xCDAT does concisely in the documentation.

One example I can find in the README.rst is under the "Project Motivation" section.

The goal of xCDAT is to provide generalizable features and utilities for simple and robust analysis of climate data. xCDAT's design philosophy is focused on reducing the overhead required to accomplish certain tasks in xarray.

We should more clearly describe what those "certain tasks" are. Steve posted a nice summary here on Pangeo
