 									<h3>What We Offer</h3>
-						    		
-									
-		  <ul>
-		    <li>Around ten gigabytes of storage. Our quotas
-		    are only in place to prevent oversubscription of
-		    storage, and we can add more space as needed, so
-		    this number is flexible and ever-growing.</li>
+		
 
+	      <p>Our service is built upon Debian GNU/Linux, Kerberos,
+	      OpenAFS, and our custom services manager <a
+	      href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/DomTool">Domtool</a>. Using
+	      Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains
+	      and sites in shared daemons without needing to request
+	      anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic
+	      Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own
+	      daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.</p>
 
-		    <li>A publically accessible <a
-		    href="http://openafs.org">OpenAFS</a> cell
-		    (<tt>/afs/hcoop.net/</tt> the whole world
-		    round). For that extra bit of nerd cred. You can
-		    acquire tokens locally, and access your HCoop
-		    storage as if it were local disk on every major
-		    operating system.</li>
+	      <p>We support Free Software, and release all of our
+	      custom software <a
+	      href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Code">under Free
+	      licenses</a>, and are committed to using only Free
+	      Software in our infrastructure.</p>
+
+	      <p>Our <a
+	      href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Hardware">servers</a> are
+	      colocated at <a href="http://peer1.net">Peer1</a> in New
+	      York City. They have excellent connectivity, several
+	      layers of power redundancy, and helpful on-site
+	      staff.</p>
 
-		    <li>General web hosting with Apache, featuring the
-		    usual languages (perl, php, python) and databases
-		    (PostgreSQL and MySQL). Unlike many providers,
-		    we'll install most anything available in Debian so
-		    you can run that Haskell web application with
-		    ease.</li>

+		<tr><td><strong>Storage</strong></td><td> Around ten
+		    gigabytes of storage. You can request more disk
+		    space as needed; our quotas are only in place to
+		    prevent oversubscription of storage. As we add
+		    more storage, all members benefit.</td></tr>

+		<tr><td><strong>Bandwidth</strong></td><td>We
+		currently have 5Mbps (<a
+		href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing">95th
+		percentile</a> billing) burstable to 100Mbps. If your
+		sites see less than a hundred or so gigabytes of
+		traffic per months, we can feasibly host you. As
+		membership expands, we intend to get more bandwidth
+		(hopefully 100Mbps unmetered eventually).</td></tr>

 		    through Roundcube), with the ability to create
-		    virtual mailboxes for friends and family.</li>

+		
+		<tr><td><strong>Mailing Lists</strong></td><td>Mailing lists through GNU Mailman.</td></tr>
+		
+		<tr><td><strong>Shell</strong></td><td>A shell account on a machine running Debian's
 		    latest stable release. We don't mind folks idling

-		    building software.</li>
-
-		    <li>Shared services for the benefit of all
+		    building software.</td></tr>

+		<tr><td><strong>Etc.</strong></td><td>Shared services for the benefit of all
