+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>The Pure Data external repository is meant to be a place where developers of
+externals for the Pure Data computer music system can put their code. For
+information about PD, look at the <A HREF="http://www.pure-data.org">Pure Data
+website</A>.</p>
+
+
+<p>PD has a huge user base and we all enjoy working with PD. A lot of externals
+are being written and published on the web. As a consequence, it has become
+increasingly hard to have an overview of all the externals. A central code
+repository will offer this, as well as many other advantages. It will be easier
+to manage the code, update orphaned externals, distribute compiled versions for
+different systems, avoid duplication of effort, collaborate on improving the
+same external, and finally the users have the advantage of being able to
+download it from one single place.</p>
+
+
+<p>I could go on listing the advantages, but there is one big disadvantage. We
+have to work on it in order to make it a success. We have to learn CVS and we
+have to import our projects into the repository. I think it is worth this work,
+because you gain a lot too. If you donīt have the time to get into this, but
+still agree that your external becomes part of the repository, just <A
+HREF="mailto:geiger@xdv.org">send an email </A> with the information how to
+download your code.</p>
+
+<p>Another drawback is that your code has to be GPL'd. If this is a problem for
+you, let <a href="mailto:pd-dev@iem.kug.ac.at">us</a> know.</p>
