+<h2>About This Site</h2>
+
+<p>This website is the central source of information about Subversion
+   and the community which gives it life.  Here, you'll find resources
+   that are useful to existing and potential Subversion users and
+   developers alike.  Want to read about Subversion's features?  Need
+   to download the latest Subversion release?  Perhaps you've thought
+   of a great enhancement and you're wondering how to share the idea
+   with the developers?  This site will help you do all that.</p>
+
+<p>Who is this site <em>not</em> aimed at?  Well, there are many
+   third-party tools which exist as part of the greater Subversion
+   ecosystem, but aren't part of the core project itself.  Subversion
+   clients such as TortoiseSVN, or Subversion's integrations into
+   various IDE's such as Eclipse and NetBeans, or the pure Java
+   implementation of Subversion called SVNKit &mdash; these are all
+   valuable pieces of the Subversion story, but each is managed as its
+   own project outside of the core Subversion offering.  This site
+   really isn't so much about those projects.</p>
+
+<p>The sections below provide a high-level overview of how this
+   website is organized, making reference to
+   the <a href="#site-nav-menu">navigation menu</a> you should find on
+   the left-hand side of each page of the website.</p>

+<div class="h3" id="site-overview-about" title="site-overview-about">
+<h3>The "About Subversion" Section</h3>
+
+<p>The "About Subversion" section of the website is Information
+   Central.  You can read the latest Subversion
+   <a href="/news.html">News</a>, learn about Subversion's rich set
+   of <a href="/features.html">Features</a>, and consult various
+   sources of <a href="/doc/">Documentation</a> about Subversion and
+   the processes that govern that interactions of the Subversion
+   community.  There's a <a href="/faq.html">Frequently Asked
+   Questions (FAQ)</a> page, as well as some forward-looking material
+   in the form of a feature <a href="/roadmap.html">Roadmap</a>.</p>

+<h3>The "Getting Subversion" Section</h3>
+
+<p>Learning about Subversion is great, but the real fun is in applying
+   that knowledge.  The "Getting Subversion" section of the website is
+   all about making sure Subversion finds it way into your hands.
+   This community releases source code archives of the various
+   Subversion versions, which you can get via
+   the <a href="/source-code.html">Source Code</a> menu.  (That's also
+   a good place to look for instructions on checking out Subversion's
+   source code from the repository in which it lives.)  But if you'd
+   rather not deal with building Subversion yourself, there are a
+   number of places where you can get precompiled
+   <a href="/packages.html">Binary Packages</a> of Subversion, built
+   for various platforms.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- #site-overview-getting -->
+
+<div class="h3" id="site-overview-community" title="site-overview-community">
+<h3>The "Community" Section</h3>
+
+<p>The other sections of the website are primarily about getting
+   &mdash; the "Community" section is where you interact and give.
+   Here, you'll learn about the <a href="/mailing-lists.html">Mailing
+   Lists</a> where Subversion-related discussions occur and about
+   the <a href="/issue-tracker.html">Issue Tracker</a> where bugs and
+   enhancement requests are reported.  We'll tell you about the
+   various ways you can be <a href="/contributing.html">Getting
+   Involved</a> with the project.  And if you're a developer or
+   would-be developer of Subversion, we've even got a page
+   of <a href="/dev/">Developer Resources</a> especially for you.</p>
