+    <h2>What is Debian GIS?</h2>
 
-    <p>The goal of the <strong>DebianGis</strong> project is about improving Debian to make it the best distribution for <strong>Geographical Information Systems</strong> applications and users.</p>
+    <p>Debian GIS is a “<a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/blends">Debian Pure Blend</a>” with the aim to develop Debian into the best distribution for <strong>Geographical Information System</strong> applications and users.</p>
 
-    <p>The project is GIS-generic -- the "pkg-grass" name is a historical artifact from the birth of the project.</p>
+    <p>A good deal of GIS related softwares and libraries (e.g. GRASS GIS, GDAL, and PROJ.4) are already present in Debian.</p>
+
+    <p>Thanks to efforts of the Debian GIS team, we currently have many exciting GIS packages in Debian's main archives. Other programs are well along their way to being included in the archive.</p>
+
+    <p>The Debian source packages maintained by the Debian GIS team are also used by efforts to support current GIS software on Debian derivatives such as UbuntuGIS, which provides backports of GIS packages for Ubuntu, and OSGeo-Live for their Ubuntu based distribution.</p>
+
+    <p>The Debian GIS team collaboration infrastructure on Alioth originates from the initial team effort to maintain the <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grass.html">grass</a> package. It has since grown to collaboratively maintain most GIS and OpenStreetMap source packages, but still uses the <em>pkg-grass</em> group name on Alioth.</p>
