What about 'original' ?

"Large parts of Clerezza are original." Sounds better :-)

I fully understand. That's why I pointed out to early June in another =
thread yesterday as a good time to release as there is a Federated =
Social Web conference that really needs the features that Clerezza has =
put together. What we are building here are a few simple demos that show =
why one needs something like ZZ, and cannot do without. They will make =
sense of ZZ to people without needing to give them large theoretical =
demonstrations and explanations. This hopefully will pull a lot of =
developers, so we can progress more quickly.
