 # The Mana World (TMW)
-The Mana World is a collective of Open Source game development projects that have spawned throughout the history of the organisation. Its aim is to foster the development of various projects and share in the continued growth of its longstanding community.
+The Mana World is a federated open source group, composed of several game projects that have spawned throughout the history of the organisation. The Mana World started as one game in 2004 and was from the beginning a constantly-evolving prototype. As new people joined and old people left, different ideas on what to produce started to arise. Eventually, The Mana World grew into an organisation hosting many projects including forks of the original game, client adaptations and even plans for new TMW-inspired titles.
 
 ## The Mana World Team (TMWT)
 The Mana World Team is the executive body of The Mana World. It is made up of senior Developers, Administrators and Game Masters. In order to be elected to TMWT one needs to have been appointed an active developer of at least one official TMW project for a minimum of six months and be voted and agreed upon by TMWT internally.
 
-Each TMW project can manage their development and GM teams independently. Each project is required to choose a nominal lead and mainain an updated membership list. In case no lead is present/available for more than 30 days, TMWT will be rensposible for nominating a member to the vacant position.
