+
+  <para>
+		GNOME is the result of various people helping out by either developing the
+		software, writing documentation, translating the software into a local
+		language, performing usability testing, creating the images used by GNOME,
+		designing t-shirts and websites, testing and more. This section provides an
+		overview of the various improvements made by various contributors for other
+		contributors.

+		<title>Workflow addition to Damned Lies translation website</title>
+
+		<para>
+			Damned Lies is the name of the GNOME translation website. In the beginning
+			this site just provided statistics statistics such as the percentage of
+			strings which have been translated. It since has expanded to include
+			statistics regarding documentation.
+		</para>
+
+		<para>During the development of GNOME &gnomeversion;, Damned Lies was
+			enhanced to include the workflow tool known by some as Vertimus. The
+			addition allows a translator to create their own account on Damned Lies
+			and upload their translation work. After that the site tracks the review
+			status and finally if it has been integrated within GNOME ('committed').
