    6 <h3>What is this project about?</h3>
    7 <p>Welcome to the Paper Tape Project. The goal of this project is to handle paper tapes handy
    8    with today's computers. Therefore we have written drivers for punching and reading with
    9    external devices, as well as a complete specialized hex editor for paper tape binary files.
    10    This project has produced a lot of tools, partly high quality, partly quick &amp; dirty.
    11    It's an open source project &ndash; you can get the complete results, every single source
    12    file, as well as compiled binaries for Microsoft Windows and Linux. The development
    13    proceeds mainly at linux workstations, thanks to their great and powerful Unix shells.</p>
     10<p>Welcome to the <b>Punched Paper Project</b>. This is a small website
     11   that informs you about the goals and progress of that project</p>

    15 <h3>Progress/status</h3>
    16 <p>I'm about to switch to HTML files for documentation, but there still some README.txt
    17    files flying around:</p>
    18 <ul>
    19   <li><a href="../README.txt">General README about the project and subprojects</a></li>
    20   <li><a href="../reader/README.txt">Reader subsystem readme</a></li>
    21   <li><a href="../usersprace-driver/README.txt">Userspace driver (puncher) subsystem readme</a></li>
    22   <li><a href="../web-frontend/README.txt">Webfrontend readme</a></li>
    23 </ul>
     13<h2>In a nutshell</h2>
     14<p>The goal of this project is to handle various antiquated storage
     15   media with today's computers. Such media are especially paper tapes
     16   and punch cards.
     17   <br/>This project started as <b>Paper Tape Project</b> with drivers
     18   that make PCs capable to
     19   communicate with paper tape readers and writers, so we can now read
     20   and write paper tapes under various operating systems (GNU/Linux,
     21   Micrsoft Windows). Then we got visualizing and operating tools for
     22   paper tape data, as well as font/label generators for paper tapes.
     23   <br/>In 2009, we got the idea to make punch card devices run at
     24   computers, too. So I've renamed the whole project to <b>Punched
     25   Paper Project</b>.

    36 <p>Something about the goal</p>
     28<h2>Who's running the project</h2>
     29<p>The Punched Paper Project is an <b>Open Source</b> project by a
     30   german student. It's hosted on the servers of the german computer
     31   museum <a href="http://www.technikum29.de">technikum29</a>.</p>
