-We're on the way to update the documentation to make it more easy to get in touch with Sling. At the moment we can give you the following starting points:
+# Run Apache Sling
-* [Discover Sling in 15 minutes](getting-started/discover-sling-in-15-minutes.html)
+## Sling Docker Image
+
+The easiest way to get Apache Sling running is to use Docker. If you don't have Docker installed
+ you can skip to the next section.
+
+We maintain a docker image of our latest release at [Apache Sling Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/apachesling/sling).
+
+The simplest command to launch Sling is:
+
+
+ docker run -p 8080:8080 apachesling/sling
-## Where to head from here
+This will start the latest Apache Sling distribution and you can access Sling at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
+## Sling Download
+
+The other option is to download the latest released Apache Sling standalone application from our
+ [Downloads](/downloads.cgi) section. Once you have downloaded the application make sure that you have
+ Java 8 or later installed and run Sling with (replace the N with the latest version number before
+ executing the command):
+
+
+ java -jar org.apache.sling.launchpad-N.jar
+
+Again, once this is started have a look at http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).

# Apache Sling in a hundred words
-Apache Sling is a web framework that uses a [Java Content Repository](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSR-170), such as [Apache Jackrabbit](http://jackrabbit.apache.org/), to store and manage content.
+Apache Sling is a web framework that uses a resource oriented architecture. The content is
+ stored in a hierarchical resource tree which is mapped to the URL space of the web
+ application.
Sling applications use either scripts or Java servlets, selected based on
simple name conventions, to process HTTP requests in a RESTful way.
-The embedded [Apache Felix](http://felix.apache.org/)
- OSGi framework and console provide a dynamic runtime environment, where
-code and content bundles can be loaded, unloaded and reconfigured at
-runtime.
+The runtime environment is modular and dynamic allowing to select only the required modules
+ to run your Sling application. This provides a flexible extension mechanism where modules
+ easily can be loaded, unloaded and reconfigured
-As the first web framework dedicated to [JSR-170](http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=170)
- Java Content Repositories, Sling makes it very simple to implement simple
-applications, while providing an enterprise-level framework for more
-complex applications.
