+   		    <h2>Accounts Service on the Desktop</h2>
+		    <p>		    
+		      	The GNOME desktop now has a centralized service that stores user's web accounts, 
+		      	such as Google or Twitter. The service stores the accounts in a central place on the 
+		      	desktop and lets multiple applications use the same account without having the user 
+		      	enter it twice. The service also provides a dialog that applications can use to let 
+		      	the user manage their accounts.
+		    </p>
+		    <h2>Accounts Service on the Server</h2>  	
+		    <p>
+		        Your set of web accounts can be saved on the server, so that they are synchronized 
+		        between all the desktops you use. We only save your usernames on the server, and never 
+		        send your passwords to the server. To enable this feature, you need to create a 
+		        <a href="/account">GNOME Online</a> account and check the "Save Accounts Online" option
+		        in the accounts dialog on the desktop. After that, you can always review your set
+		        of saved accounts on <a href="/account">your account page</a>.    
+		    </p>    	
+		    <h2>Accounts Service Information for Application Developers</h2>
+		    <p>	        	    
+		        Online Accounts is a new DBus service available at org.gnome.OnlineAccounts that 
+		        desktop applications can use to create and retrieve user's web accounts.
+		        <br> 
+		        <br>
+		        The Online Accounts service:
+                <ul>
+                <li> Stores online accounts information in GConf and passwords in GNOME Keyring.
+                <li> Provides a dialog for adding and removing online accounts, as well as supplying passwords for existing accounts. 
+                <li> Gets the accounts information from online.gnome.org server if the user opted in to use that service, otherwise relies on GConf. 
+                </ul>               
+                The benefits of using the Online Accounts service:
+                <ul>
+                <li>Users only have to enter or update information for a particular account type once.
+                <li>You do not need to do own GConf and GNOME Keyring manipulations.
+                <li>You do not need to create a custom dialog for getting the username and a password. 
+                </ul>                
+                You can find a sample usage of the Online Accounts service in the <a href="http://svn.gnome.org/svn/bigboard/trunk/";>code for the Bigboard sidebar</a>.
+                You can add new account types by using <a href="/account-type-add">this form</a>, after which they will show up on the <a href="/account">account page</a>. 
+                The new account types will be available on the desktop once you restart the desktop-data-engine and web-login-driver processes. Please check in with us 
+                to see if the account type you want to create already exists. Feel free use <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/online-desktop-list";>online-desktop-list gnome org mailing list</a>
+                or irc.gnome.org #online-desktop channel for any questions.
+            </p>
