Re-write the first sentence of Episode 1 to be more straightforward and useful

[ostephens]

How could the content be improved?

The first sentence of Episode 1 is "OpenRefine is a desktop application that uses your web browser as a graphical interface."

This sentence is quite jargon heavy and it is unclear what the learner is meant to take away from this sentence. Perhaps the emphasis should be on:

• Web browser (in Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Safari)
• Runs locally (on your local machine)
• Is not a cloud based or shared application - all data is kept locally

As sentence is edited should make sure that any terms are linked to definitions as appropriate (browser, what 'runs locally' means, what 'cloud based' means as appropriate)

Note: this is a Java program that runs on your machine (not in the cloud). It runs inside your browser, but no web connection is needed.
