<title>Packages</title>
+OSSP consists of a large set of packages (or components). They are split
+into the following cathegories:
+
+<h2>Tools</h2>
+
+The tools OSSP provides are either developed for internal use in the
+OSSP project environment or for the build process of the other OSSP
+components. They are all small stand-alone applications and can be used
+fully separately.
+[<a href="tool/">more</a>]
+
+<h2>Bootstrap</h2>
+
+The bootstrap packages will be the necessary tools and libraries for
+bootstrapping the OSSP developer and end-user build environments.
+Currently this package cathegory still does not exists. It will be
+created later by integrating packages from the <i>Tools</i> and
+<i>Libraries</i> cathegories.
+[<a href="boot/">more</a>]
+
+<h2>Libraries</h2>
+
+The libraries OSSP provides are the passive components used in the
+OSSP platform. They are all stand-alone and fully reusable libraries
+and can be used fully separately. On these packages currently the main
+development effort is put, because they are the base of the whole OSSP
+platform.
+[<a href="lib/">more</a>]
+
+<h2>Kernel</h2>
+
+The kernel packages will form the microkernel part of the OSSP platform.
+It will use the <i>Libraries</i> packages to provide the run-time
+environment for the <i>Modules</i> packages.
+[<a href="kern/">more</a>]
+
+<h2>Modules</h2>
+
+The modules OSSP will be the active components used in the OSSP
+platform. They use the <i>Libraries</i> and the OSSP <i>Kernel</i>
+packages to provide the actual OSSP server functionality. They
+can be used only within the OSSP platform.
