+  <para>
+    The goal of the &FDP; is to create easy-to-follow, task-based
+    documentation for &FED; users and developers. Other than the
+    <citetitle>&IG;</citetitle>, each tutorial should be in DocBook XML
+    article format, with one article per topic. This way, writers can
+    contribute documentation about a specific topic without having to
+    worry about how it fits into a manual or how it flows with other
+    topics.
