+CodeIgniter Features
+####################
+
+Features in and of themselves are a very poor way to judge an
+application since they tell you nothing about the user experience, or
+how intuitively or intelligently it is designed. Features don't reveal
+anything about the quality of the code, or the performance, or the
+attention to detail, or security practices. The only way to really judge
+an app is to try it and get to know the code.
+`Installing <../installation/>`_ CodeIgniter is child's play so we
+encourage you to do just that. In the mean time here's a list of
+CodeIgniter's main features.
