       <!-- TODO: I reckon it's time for a new description -->
       <p>
         Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model
         (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.
       </p>
       <p>
         If you think that Maven could help your project, you can find out more information in the "About Maven"
         section of the navigation: this includes an in-depth description of <a href="what-is-maven.html">what Maven is</a> and
         a <a href="maven-features.html">list of some of its main features</a>.
       </p>
       <p>
         <!-- TODO: this could be the big button type thing instead of a list of links -->
         This site is separated into the following sections, depending on how you'd like to use Maven:
       </p>
       <!-- TODO: use CSS -->

         Each guide is divided into a number of trails to get you started on a particular topic, and includes a
         reference area and a "cookbook" of common examples.
       </p>
       <p>
         You can access the guides at any time from the left navigation.
         If you are looking for a quick reference, you can use the <a href="guides/index.html">documentation index</a>.

       <h3>How to Get Support</h3>
       <p>
         Support for Maven is available in a variety of different forms.
       </p>
       <p>
         To get started, search the documentation,
         <a href="issue-management.html">issue management system</a>, the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN">wiki</a>
         or the <a href="mailing-lists.html">mailing list archives</a> to
         see if the problem has been solved or reported before.
       </p>
       <p>
         If the problem has not been reported before, the recommended way to get help is to
         subscribe to the <a href="mailing-lists.html">Maven Users Mailing list</a>. Many other users and Maven developers
         will answer your questions there, and the answer will be archived for others in the future.
       </p>
       <p>
         You can also reach the Maven developers on <a href="community.html">IRC</a>.
       </p>

       <h3>Apache Software Foundation</h3>
       <p>
         Maven is a part of the Apache Software Foundation. We'd like to <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/thanks.html">thank
         the sponsors</a> that provide financial assistance to the foundation. For more information on how you can support the
         foundation, see the <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html">sponsorship</a> page.

         </a>
         You can also attend <a href="https://www.apache.org/events/current-event.html">Apache Events</a>: don't hesitate to ask on the <a href="mailing-lists.html">Maven User mailing list</a>
         if Maven team members will be there, it can be a great opportunity to meet them.
