-<h1>About the XSPF Team</h1>
+<h1>About Us</h1>
-<p>
-The following people have contributed to XSPF's creation:
-</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>
+<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>

-<h1>Utilities</h1>
+ <dt><a href="http://webjay.org">Webjay</a> (web)</dt>
+ <dd>A playlist community site and playlist authoring tool which

-A few utilities have been written so far:

+<h1>XML Shareable Playlist Format ("spiff")</h1>
-<p>
-XSPF is the XML Shareable Playlist Format, pronounced <b>spiff</b>.
-</p>
+<p>XSPF is the XML format for sharing playlists.</p>
-<p>
-XSPF is a next generation playlist format that:
-</p>
-
<ul>
-<li>Is open -- the format is not controlled by any one corporation.</a>
-<li>Is portable -- You should be able to send a playlist without the content to your friends and have it be usable.</a>
-<li>Doesn't suck -- Most existing playlist formats suck.</a>
+<li>It is <em>open</em> -- No proprietary lock-in. </a>
+<li>It is <em>portable</em> -- You should be able to send a playlist to your friend and have it work.</a>
+<li>It is <em>well-engineered</em> -- Most playlist formats get the easy things wrong.</li>
</ul>
-<p>
-XSPF is a work in progress and is not complete. Take a look at our
-<a href="http://playlist.musicbrainz.org/playlist/moin.cgi/">Wiki</a> -- this is our playground for
-working out the details of this new playlist format. The <a href="specs.html">draft specification</a>
-outlines how the playlists are going to work and look, and the <a href="schema.html">schema</a> page
-has a simple schema and a couple of example XSPF files.
-</p>
+<dl>
+ <dt>Unlike M3U</dt>
+ <dd>XSPF is XML.</dd>
-<p>
-We also have a <a href="list.html">mailing list</a> you're welcome to join. If you have any comments
-on XSPF, please post them here.

+ <dt>Unlike SMIL</dt>
+ <dd>XSPF is simple.</dd>
+ <dt>Unlike ASX</dt>
+ <dd>XSPF is open.</dd>
