 <h3>Architecture</h3>
 
-<img src="architecture.png">
+<img align="right" src="architecture.png">
 
+<p>This diagram illustrates the basic aspects of the Akonadi architecture. It's
+built around a central storage which is accessed through a language and platform
+neutral protocol. On top of this protocol a set of APIs is provided which are
+used to access the PIM data in the storage. There are two kinds of users of the
+APIs. First, there are the applications like <a
+href="http://kontact.kde.org">Kontact</a>, <a
+href="http://koffice.org">KOffice</a> or <a
+href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/">Evolution</a>. Second, there are
+resources which transfer data between the central Akonadi storage and external
+sources. This can be groupware servers like OX or GroupWise, other storage
+mechanisms like iCalendar files or access through standard protocols like POP or
+IMAP.</p>
+
+<p>The diagram only exemplary lists some applications and resources. Akonadi is
+designed to be accessible to a broad range of applications and resource
+implementations. It's part of the concept that it's easy to add additional APIs
+and users of the APIs.</p>
+
+<br clear="all"/>
+
+<h3>Code</h3>
+
+<p>Akonadi is currently being developed in the KDE Subversion repository at <a
+href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepim/libakonadi/"><tt>trunk/KDE/kdepim/libakonadi</tt></a>.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Documentation</h3>
+
+<p>Akonadi was introduced at the <a
+href="../development/meetings/osnabrueck4/overview.php">fourth annual
+KDE PIM meeting at Osnabr&uuml;ck</a>. Documentation about the discussions
+which took place there and some more background information can be found at the
+<a href="../development/meetings/osnabrueck4/overview.php">Osnabr&uuml;ck 4</a> pages.</p>
