-<p>This site provides the source to the non-JVM-dependent
-parts of the Flexible Task Graphs system as described in the paper <a

+<p>This site provides the source to the non-JVM-dependent parts of the
+<b>Flexible Task Graphs</b> system as described in the following
+paper, which provides an introduction to this work.
+<ul>

+href="http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_people.nsf/pages/bacon.refereed-pubs.html/$FILE/Auerbach08Flexible-final.pdf">Flexible
+task graphs: a unified restricted thread programming model for
+java</a> by Joshua Auerbach, David F. Bacon, Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper
+Honig Spring, and Jan Vitek, published in LCTES 2008.
+</ul>
+<p>The JVM-dependent parts of the system (for IBM's WebSphere Real
+Time VM) will be made available separately on <a
+href="http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com">IBM AlphaWorks</a> in the near
+future.  The expected date is November 18 but the details are beyond
+our personal control.
 
-<p>See also <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexotask">our
-sourceforge project page</a>.
+<p>Once the IBM AlphaWorks release occurs, you will be able to go to
+that web site to receive integrated instructions allowing you to
+install both portions of the support.  Meanwhile, you are welcome to
+install just the open source portions from this site.  Installation is
+via the Eclipse Update Mechanism as explained <a
+href="http://flexotask.wiki.sourceforge.net/installing">in our
+installation instructions wiki page</a>.
 
-<p>The source repository has been populated on an initial basis, but we
-do not yet provide a prepackaged build for convenient installation.  Those
-especially interested in getting started with the code are referred to
-<a href="http://flexotask.wiki.sourceforge.net/gettingStartedForNow">
-our preliminary "getting started" page</a>.  If you prefer to wait for
-the prepackaged build and want to be kept informed of progress,
-subscribe to <a
-href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexotask-users">
-the flexotask-users mailing list</a>.  Subscribers to that list will
-also be able to send email to it.
+<p>The Flexible Task Graphs open source project, far from reflecting
+"completed" work, is an active project with much left to accomplish.
+We expect to accept contributions from new authors.  Our goal is to
+obtain consensus on the best possible restricted thread programming
+model to incorporate into the next generation of standards for Real
+Time Java.  Contributions can take the form of new plugins (timing
+grammars, schedulers, distributers, or tracing packages), new
+front-end tools, or improvements to the framework itself.  Please
+contact <a href="mailto:jsa...@us...">Joshua
+Auerbach</a>.  You may also visit our <a
+href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexotask">our sourceforge
+project page</a> for more information and subscribe to one or more of
+our mailing lists.  The mailing lists are structured so that all
+subscribers (but only subscribers) may send to them.
 
-<p>During this formative period, please also feel free to direct questions
-about this project to <a
-href="mailto:jsa...@us...">Joshua Auerbach</a>.
+<p>The Flexible Task Graphs open source codebase was developed at IBM
+(or under research agreements with IBM) from the older Exotask code
+base and is being made available by IBM under the Eclipse Public
+License.  Primary developers were Joshua Auerbach and Jesper Honig
+Spring, with substantial design input from David Bacon and Jan Vitek.
+However, Flexible Task Graphs are a unification of four previous
+programming models, and the contributers to those models are therefore
+indirect contributers to the present work.  Here are pointers to the
+older background papers.
