- <p>Welcome to the Community Development project site. </p>
-<p>Our aim here is to <em>help
-newcomers</em> to The Apache Software Foundation take their first steps on
-their way to being a <em>part of our community</em>. </p>
-<p>We also aim to provide signposts into The Apache Software Foundation which is a large and sometimes confusing place.</p>
+ <h1 id="welcome">Welcome!</h1>
+<p>Welcome to the Apache Community Development (ComDev) project! This website is developed
+by volunteers to <em>help newcomers</em> to The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)
+and to our many Apache projects take their first steps towards being a <em>part of our community</em>. </p>
+<p>Here we provide signposts to information about both
+the ASF as an organization, as well as about the over 100 different Apache project
+communities that provide free software for the public benefit.</p>
<p>We do not focus on any
-specific projects here, we focus on the common structures and processes you
-will find in the majority of ASF projects. Our goal is to help you
+specific projects here, but rather on the common processes and policies
+found in most of Apache projects. Our goal is to help you
<em>understand how the ASF works</em> and give you the confidence to participate
-more directly.</p>
+more directly in Apache projects that interest you.</p>
