+<p>The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems
+with a primary goal of retaining the function and form of traditional desktop computers.</p>
+
+<h2>Project Goals</h2>
+<P>We seek to provide a traditional desktop environment which is . . .
+<ul>
+ <li>Flexible and highly customizable.</li>
+ <li>Visually appealing.</li>
+ <li>Equipped with a suitable collection of desktop effects that remain compatible with older hardware.</li>
+ <li>Responsive on older hardware, while also being compatible with newer hardware.</li>
+ <li>Compatible with, but not requiring, 3D acceleration.</li>
+ <li>Compatible with <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/">freedesktop.org</a> and
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard">Linux file system hierarchy</a>
+ standards.</li>
+ <li>Compatible with other desktop environments.</li>
+ <li>Capable of offering maximal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_interaction">HCI
+ (Human-Computer Interaction)</a> efficiency in a mouse/keyboard environment.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Major Features</h2>
+<ul>
+ <li>Traditional panel, task bar, task manager, quick launch.</li>
+ <li>A repository of TDE compatible software applications, including several text editors, a file manager,
+ image viewers, office apps, an archive manager, and the original and improved classic Amarok music player.
+ <A HREF="applications.php">Full list of applications</A></li>
+ <li>Optional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key">Secure Attention
+ Key</a> to further secure the login and desktop lock dialogs.</li>
+ <li>A TDE-specific DBUS notification client for improved integration with
+ common applications such as Firefox and NetworkManager (with no need for HAL).</li>
+ <li>Plus much more! <A HREF="features.php">Full list of features</A>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>History</h2>
+<p>The TDE project began as a continuation of the K Desktop Environment (KDE)
+ version 3. The name Trinity was chosen partly because the word means "three" and TDE
+ was a continuation of KDE 3. TDE now is its own computer desktop environment
+ project.</p>
+<p>The TDE project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson. Timothy
+ is an experienced and skilled software developer and was the KDE 3.x coordinator
+ of previous Kubuntu releases.</p>
+<h3>Release dates:</h3>

+ Trinity is an independent fork using a separate developer community.</p>
