 # Overview # {#overview}
 
+One of the key features of Apache Traffic Server is modularity.
+Features that aren't needed in the core simply aren't there.
+This is a good thing, because it guarantees that our core can
+remain fast by concentrating on the things that we always provide:
+Caching and proxying.
+
+All other things can be moved into plugins, by opening up a consitent
+C API, everyone can implement their own functionality, without having
+to touch the core.
+
+# Download # {#download}
+
+Apache Traffic Server Plugins are released separately as a [bundle](/downloads),
+but they can also each be obtained via Subversion:
+
+    http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/trafficserver/plugins/trunk/
+
+Or Git:
+
+    git://git.apache.org/trafficserver-plugins.git/
+    https://github.com/apache/trafficserver-plugins/
+
+
+# Build # {#build}
+
+Most plugins can be build by simply issueing
+
+    make
+
+in their source tree. Note that this requires you to have `tsxs` in your `PATH`
