 ===== IV. The Evergreen Online Community =====
-==== A. Existing Community Properties: Websites and More ====
 The Evergreen community as a whole operates as a virtual community with the exception of occasional face-to-face meetings at conferences, sector events, etc. A number of different online properties are maintained by various community members.
-**1. Website/general: [[http://evergreen-ils.org|evergreen-ils.org]] / [[http://open-ils.org|open-ils.org]]**
+**1. Main Website: [[http://evergreen-ils.org|evergreen-ils.org]] / [[http://open-ils.org|open-ils.org]]**
 The current community website serves as a home for the Evergreen software itself as well as many of the project's “official” resources. The site is a combination of static HTML and the DokuWiki collaborative documentation platform operated somewhat informally by a group of developers. Recently, members of the Web Planning Team and other community members have begun work on incremental improvements to the existing site, such as improving navigation.
