+About the FixMyStreet Platform
+------------------------------
+
+The FixMyStreet Platform is an open source project from
+[mySociety](https://www.mysociety.org) to help people run websites for
+reporting common street problems such as potholes and broken street lights to
+an appropriate authority. It's been [running successfully in the
+UK](https://www.fixmystreet.com) since 2007 (in fact, it works so well some UK
+councils use it too), and we're still working on making it better.
+
+FixMyStreet has been copied around the world, and is still under
+<strong>active development</strong>. We work hard to make sure it's easy to
+deploy, customise, and run in locations all over the world.
+
+Could your location use a FixMyStreet site?
+-------------------------------------------
+
+<!-- NB duplicated this in how-it-works.md too -->
+We've written a clear guide for anyone who's thinking about [setting up and
+running FixMyStreet]({{ "/The-FixMyStreet-Platform-DIY-Guide-v1.1.pdf" | relative_url }}). Anyone
+thinking of running such a project **must** read it first -- it explains why
+these sites work, and what you need to think about before you start.
+
+If you're thinking of getting involved, we welcome questions about how it
+works [on our mailing
+list](https://groups.google.com/a/mysociety.org/forum/#!forum/fixmystreet).
+Or, if you're outside the UK, email
+<a href="mailto:international&#64;mysociety.org">international&#64;mysociety.org.</a>
+
+There's also the [FixMyStreet blog](blog/) where we post version release
+information and other progress reports. And we often post FixMyStreet news on
+the <a href="https://www.mysociety.org/blog/">mySociety blog</a> too.
