-Welcome to the main site of our PPS. In the autumn semester of 2005 the fathers of Orxonox ([wiki:patrickboenzli Patrick Boenzli] and Benjamin Grauer) decided to offer the game they started to make a year before to the ETH as a practical for second year students. The goal was to teach the students and deepen their knowledge of open source development. Since then Orxonox had many faces and experienced a lot of changes. The two fathers of Orxonox finished their studies and so others took over the job of teaching. Every semester the large group of developers meet and organize a new PPS. There they try to learn from earlier mistakes and are eager to present the second-year-students the best possible PPS-experience. We want our students to be happy with their work and experience in our PPS.
+In 2004, [wiki:patrickboenzli Patrick Boenzli] and Benjamin Grauer started to create Orxonox. In the autumn semester of 2005, they decided to offer Orxonox as a PPS at the ETH. The goal was to teach the students about open source development and to deepen their knowledge of programming and modeling and, last but not least, to create a cool game.
 
-If you're a student at the ETH Zürich and if you're about to start your second year at the department of electro engineering, you can participate in our PPS. You will have fun if you're interested in game development. Your interest can either be in coding or designing or both. Feel free to look around on our page to find something you're interested in.
+Since that time a lot has changed: The two fathers of Orxonox finished their studies and so former students of the PPS took over and continued the PPS. Every semester, the growing group of developers meet and organize a new PPS. There they try to learn from earlier mistakes and to build on gained experienc. Because in the end, all we want is our students being happy with their work and experience in our PPS.

 Facts about our PPS:
- * 8 PPS-points for you
- * PPS takes place on '''Wednesday, 13:15 until 16:00'''
- * Rooms: ETZ H91 (teaching, courses, tutorials) and ETL F11 (coding sessions) (you will be informed about room changes via email)
+ * You get 8 PPS-points
+ * The PPS takes place on '''Wednesday, 13:15 until 16:00'''
+ * The PPS starts at the 24th of September 2008 
+ * Rooms: ETZ H91 and ETF C 109 (teaching, courses, tutorials) and ETL F11 (coding sessions). You will be informed about room changes via email.
  * Requirements: You should at least be able to work on a computer. Most things will be taught by us, but we're not unhappy if you already know stuff about open source development tools.
   * Coding: Knowledge from the first year of the electrical engineering studies is sufficient
   * Design: Basic knowledge of image editing or 3D modeling
- * Also: This is no useless PPS, where you learn nothing and just get over with. We teach you stuff and your work has impact in the project.

+Also: This is not a useless PPS, where you learn nothing and just get over with. Everything you do in the PPS will be used in Orxonox and helps to make it better.
