==========================
To enable the NeuroDebian repository on your system, select your Debian or
-Ubuntu release and a repository mirror from the lists below. Upon selection
+Ubuntu release and a `repository mirror`_ from the lists below. Upon selection
a short command snippet will be displayed that can be copied and pasted into
a terminal session. These commands will configure the system package manager
with the NeuroDebian repository key and package source information.
The team
========
-Our main goal is to provide neuroscience FOSS_ for Debian_. Thus the
-whole project would not be possible without the work of over 3,000
-Debian_ developers and contributors who are as enthusiastically pursuing
-a similar goal. To add our share -- Debian_ packages of FOSS_ for
-neuroscience research -- the `Experimental Psychology Debian packaging
-project <http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-exppsy>`_ was created
-to formally join the forces of
+`Michael Hanke <http://mih.voxindeserto.de>`_ and `Yaroslav Halchenko
+<http://www.onerussian.com>`_ originally started NeuroDebian (formerly the
+`Experimental Psychology Debian packaging project
+<http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-exppsy>`_) and are the current project
+leaders. However, the whole project would not be possible without the work of
+over 3,000 Debian_ developers and contributors who are as enthusiastically
+building the Debian operating system.
+A number of packages that are available from the NeuroDebian repository have
+been contributed by various individuals and other teams in Debian, such as
+`Debian Med`_ and `Debian Science`_. We want to express our gratitude to all
+maintainers_ that help to make Debian_ the ultimate software platform for
+neuroscience.

-A number of packages that are now available from the NeuroDebian repository
-were not packaged by our team, but similar Debian teams. Therefore we want to
-express particular gratitude to the `Debian Med`_ and `Debian Science`_ teams
-for all their work.
