+<p>We also aim to provide signposts into The Apache Software Foundation which is a large and sometimes confusing place.</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
<em>understand how the ASF works</em> and give you the confidence to participate
more directly.</p>

-<p>The first rule of engaging with an open source project, not just those here
-in the ASF, is to <em>research first, ask questions second</em>. Therefore, please
-review the materials we have on this site (which admittedly are thin on the
-ground at this early stage). If you don't find what you need then ask for
-assistance on our mailing list at
-<a href="mailto:dev@community.apache.org">dev@community.apache.org</a> (first

-<p>The second rule of engaging with open source projects, especially those in
-the ASF, is that <em>the more you give the more you get</em>. Most people assume
-that newcomers are unable to contribute, however, you will be surprised at
-how much you can help. Since we aim to be a place for newcomers to learn
-about the ASF as a whole and you are (probably) a newcomer <em>any feedback
-you can give or unanswered questions you can ask</em> will help us improve what
-we offer to those who come afterwards. </p>
