 <h2>What is this site?</h2>
-<p>There are different documentation
-teams operating somewhat independently on PHP.net subprojects. Only a
-few people are involved in more than one documentation project currently,
-and that limits the know-how sharing, which would otherwise be possible and
-desirable. All of the documentation teams use an early fork of the original
-PHP manual build system. These systems evolved independently, and took over
-some improvements from the others on an occasional basis (the PEAR
-documentation team uses a variant of the revcheck developed for phpdoc for
-example). This site is aimed at getting documentation efforts closer, and
-provide more tools and information for manual authors and translators.</p>
+
+<p>
+  This site has instructions and tools for building, translating, and
+  maintaining the 
+  <a href="https://www.php.net/docs.php">PHP Documentation</a>, which
+  is currently available in multiple languages plus the original English.
+</p>
 
 <h2>Join Us!</h2>
-<p>The developers of PHP extensions all
-have access to the PHP documentation modules, although the different projects
-have different policies of accepting contributions. You are welcome to join
-our efforts! Authoring documentation for an extension is the second best thing
-to implementing the extension itself if you are interested in the
-capabilities, features and usage possibilities even in extreme conditions. We
-also have translated versions of the different manuals, and most of the
-translation teams are always in need of more helping hands. In case you are
-interested, you should contact the relevant mailing lists. The projects and
-translations have separate mailing lists.</p>
 
-<h2>Latest News!</h2>
-<p>On March 2014 site was almost totally rebuilded. Now it uses same design as
-new php.net pages. Many of tools and features has been removed, because they weren't used.
-If you think that site is lacking some of them, please contact us on <code>php.webmaster</code>
-mailing list.</p>
+<p>
+  Besides the PHP language itself and its core features, the documentation
+  includes material about most <a href="https://www.php.net/extensions">PHP
+  extensions</a>, which often could use additional contributions.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Most of the translation teams are also in need of more helping hands. If
+  you are interested, you should contact the relevant mailing lists. The
+  projects and translations have separate mailing lists.
