-Welcome to OSSP, the world of Unix Software Technologies.
+<b>Welcome to OSSP, the world of Unix Software Technologies<i>!</i></b>
<p>
-OSSP is a project of <a href="http://www.engelschall.com/">Ralf
-S. Engelschall</a> and driven by his <a
-href="http://dev.de.cw.net/">Development Team</a> from <a
-href="http://www.cw.com/de/">Cable & Wireless Deutschland</a>'s
-Application Services division. OSSP started in 1998 and the goal is the
-creation of Unix and Networking software components which finally can
-be integrated into a next generation Internet server platform. Because
-this long-term goal requires a great amount of time and man-power, the
-short-term goal is to release all components separately and in advance.
-In OSSP, the way is our goal, too.
+OSSP is a fully non-profit <a href="http://www.opensource.org/"><b>Open
+Source Software</b></a> project, founded by <a
+href="http://www.engelschall.com/">Ralf S. Engelschall</a> in
+1998. The goal is the implementation of high-quality Unix software
+components, ranging from <a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/sa/">networking</a>,
+<a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/pth/">multi-threading</a> and <a
+href="$(ROOT)/pkg/lib/act/">algorithmc</a> libraries to <a
+href="$(ROOT)/pkg/tool/lmtp2nntp/">networking</a> servers and <a
+href="$(ROOT)/pkg/tool/shtool/">development</a> tools.
+
+<p>
+OSSP itself actually can be considered a meta-project, consisting of
+numerous <a href="$(ROOT)/pkg/"><b>projects</b></a>. Each project is
+a solution to a particular problem and usually released separately. At
+a later stage, all sub-projects together could form something like a
+<i>Next Generation Internet Server Platform</i>.
+
+<p>
+To implement such a lot of high-quality Unix software components
+requires a great amount of time and man-power. So OSSP puts really a
+lot of private work on its idealistic developers, but nevertheless
+makes all of its results freely available to the interested public.
+Without <a href="$(ROOT)/com/sponsors.html"><b>sponsoring</b></a> through <a
+href="$(ROOT)/com/donations.html">donations</a> from many individuals
+and companies all this would be not possible, of course.
<p>
