+'''Orxonox is a computer game''' - Orxonox is a spacecraft shooter that plays in the post-apocalyptic world of our future. Humanity struggles to survive under the threat of wars, economic and ecological disasters. A lot of people search for their luck in the vast space of the solar system. But the human race faces extinction when they realize they are not alone in the galaxy. The Noxons, an evil alien species, believes the human race must be destroyed to free themselves from their cruel god Nox.
 
-Orxonox is an open source game.
-It's a mix between a spacecraft shooter and a first person shooter. It plays in a post apocalyptic world, where humanity struggles to survive under the threat of extermination by the Noxons, an evil alien species.
-We started this project in May 2004 and since then we have written our own game engine and created game content for the first levels.
+'''Orxonox is an open source project''' - We started the project in May 2004 as a two-man team and have written large parts of our engine by ourselves. More and more, we make Orxonox dependent on third party open source libraries to focus on the actual game mechanics. In 2007 we started to use the open source engine [http://www.ogre3d.org Ogre]. Find out [wiki:about more about us].
 
-This year we made some major changes affecting the whole code of Orxonox. Because our own engine got to its limits, we decided to rewrite parts of Orxonox with a third party library and changed to the open source engine [http://www.ogre3d.org Ogre]. Find out [wiki:about more about us].
+'''Orxonox is a community''' - For us the community is very important and thus the multi player mode deserves special focus. We work together with the community to develop new game modes. Play with your friends at a LAN party or over the Internet. Our game modes support up to about 16 players and multiple teams. Meet [wiki:credits the team].
