https://meltano.com/ right now says:
"ELT for the DataOps era
Meltano is open source, self-hosted, CLI-first, debuggable, and extensible."
That doesn't tell me what Meltano is.
I happen to recognise "ELT" as "Extract, load, transform" but I imagine a lot of people would have to look up the acronym.
I hadn't seen the term DataOps before, despite working in this area. DevOps for Data? But the definition of DevOps itself is still pretty vague!
I know how hard it is to explain what a product like this does - I'm definitely not there with my own https://datasette.io/ project yet - but what you've got right now could definitely do with some improvement.
Here's my attempt for Meltano, based on a very loose understanding of what it is:
"Meltano is an open-source tool for building automated pipelines for extracting and converting data. Pipelines are defined using version-controlled code, and the framework can be extended using plugins written in Python."
This really isn't very good, but it does fill in the questions that I had when I first visited https://meltano.com/
