+<h1>About Us</h1>
+<p>We started work in February 2004, achieved rough consensus on version 0 in April 2004, did implementations and fine tuning throughout summer and fall 2004, and declared the tuned version to be version 1 in January 2005.</p>
+<p>During the spring of 2005 we settled XSPF into a home at <a href="http://xiph.org">Xiph.org</a>, a non-profit organization of like-minded people working on audio/video formats like Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and SPEEX.</p>
+<p>A key document prior to our starting work was Lucas Gonze's <a href="http://gonze.com/playlists/playlist-format-survey.html">Survey of playlist formats</a>, finalized in November 2003.</p>
+<p>Our group did what it did because we wanted to bring playlist formats up to snuff. There was no standards organization and no commercial sponsorship.</p>
