+    longDescription = ''
+      namida is a tool for fast file downloads over high-latency and/or unreliable networks.
+      It uses UDP for bulk data transmission, together with a minimal TCP control stream to mediate retransmission of lost data.
+
+      namida is based upon Tsunami, a 2000s-era protocol and software suite for UDP-based file transmission. While Tsunami is still usable today,
+      it has essentially not been updated since 2009, and has several problems that make it annoying to use nowadays. So, namida was created by
+      first converting Tsunami's source code to Rust using C2Rust, manually converting the generated unsafe code to safe, more idiomatic Rust,
+      and then making various improvements.
+
+      In the process some parts of Tsunami were also removed. In particular, after 2006 Tsunami was primarily maintained by Finnish VLBI scientists
+      (primarily Jan Wagner at Metsähovi Radio Observatory), who added support for VLBI-specific real-time networking hardware. The project does not
+      have access to any of this hardware, so porting is unfeasible. Presumably, the VLBI people are either still happily using Tsunami or have their
+      own updated tools anyway.
