+<h1>Developer's Corner</h1>
 
-<h1>Core Developer's Center</h1>
-<p>This area will provide information for those wishing to work on
-the core GNUe tools.</p>
+<p>Welcome to GNUe's Developer's Corner, a central source of information
+related to coding on GNUe. This site is for those interested in the
+internal workings of the GNUe tools.</p>
 
-<p>It is still under development. But for now, here are some links to 
automatically generated API docs for our tools:</p>
+<h2>Developer Overview</h2>
+<p>First, a quick overview of the development of GNUe: </p>
 <ul>
+<li>GNUe is written in <a href="http://www.python.org/";>Python</a>,
+a wonderful multi-platform, easy to read, object oriented language.
+For introductory text on python, please visit <a 
href="http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html";>
+http://www.python.org/</a>.</li>
+
+<li>GNUe uses <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/";>subversion</a> for 
revision control of our source code. To learn more GNUe's revision control, 
please see our <a href="svn.php">SVN instructions</a>. </li>
+
+<li>GNUe developers use <a href="irc.php">IRC</a> extensively
+to communicate, though we do read the <a 
href="../community/mail.php">developer's mailing list</a> and respond to mail 
posted there as well.</li>
+
+<li>GNUe requires contributors to <a href="copyleft.php">assign copyright</a> 
to the <a href="http://www.fsf.org";>Free Software Foundation</a>. This allows 
us to defend our code should the
+need ever arise.</li>
+
+<li>GNUe developers come from all walks of life and from <a 
href="../community/contrib.php">all around the world</a>.</li>
+
+<li>GNUe tools depend on the <a href="../tools/common/">GNUe
+Common Library</a>, an extensive python abstraction library
+developed specifically for our tools. Common provides
+<a href="../tools/common/databases/">database<a/>
+support, an RPC abstraction layer, an events system, an
+xml-based document parser, and numerous other functions. </li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2>Tool Documentation</h2>
+<p>Various programmer-related documentation is available for each GNUe tool. 
To see available documentation, including APIs, technotes, and whitepapers, 
click the appropriate tool.</p>
