We always discouraged "contracted words" such as webserver, so
following our policy on this.
Adding colon at the end of the synopsis.
Capitalization of "Cacti".

"Manually" is more often used than "by hand". Could also be

Avoid "your web server". This might not be "mine"..:)

Avoid capitalization of synopsis.
My proposal is not perfect. I wanted to say "for graphing the data
provided by systems and services monitoring", but had to short it
down.
I think Justin can boil comething better from this idea..:-)
+ Cacti is a complete frontend to rrdtool. It stores all of the necessary
information to create graphs and populates them with data in a MySQL
- database. The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able

to maintain Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a

+ installation host or a remotely accessible system.
First paragraph: make two sentences out of one. Avoid
"PHP-driven"...I kept the sentence but just mention this is "fully and
only PHP"
Reorder words in a sentence ("also") and properly capitalize Cacti
Drop last sentence that's proneto become obsolete in case MySQL
packages are renamed. Just say that it need an RDBMS....
