 Tasks remaining are:
 
-* Theme gitweb to be consistent with the OSS web pages.  This probably won't
-  be done, as the time may not be justified.
-
 * Merge oss.titaniummirror.com as a virtual onto the TMI public web server.
   We can't do that until we have either resolved the tos-bsl issue or have
   removed it from the public repo and packages.

+# TMI TinyOS
+
 TMI maintains a [TinyOS](http://www.tinyos.net) branch containing certain
-features not available in the official tree.  The TMI repository contains
-code imported from CVS upstream, our internal working branches, and tags
-marking a series commits that are a clean patch series of the TMI enhancements
-against an official upstream release.
+features not available in the official tree.  We use this this code for our
+internal and customer development efforts.  TMI enhancements include:
+
+* Support for newer [[msp430]] chipsets, such as the MSP430F2618.
+
+* An implementation of the USCI peripheral, supporting UART and SPI
+  communications.  Future plans to add I2C are in the works.
+
+* Enhanced clock framework supporting parts with the basic_clock+ peripheral
+  and simplifying changing msp430 clock speeds on a per platform or per
+  application basis.
+
+* Support for a number of other chips, including the Silicon Labs
+  [[cp210x]] USB to UART adapters, the Texas Instruments BQ2403x Li Ion/Polymer
+  charge controllers, and the VTI SCP1000-D01 barometric pressure sensor.
+
+* A modularized tos-bsl program that simplifies adding other msp430 boards using
+  different mechanisms to access BSL programming features.  Included is support
+  for boards using the cp2103 and its GPIO pins.
+
+* Support for TMI reference platform design, [[tmicore]].
+
+# About the TMI repository
+
+The TMI TinyOS repository contains code imported from CVS upstream, our
+internal working branches, and tags marking a series commits that are a clean
+patch series of the TMI enhancements against an official upstream release.
 
 * Current patchset tag: `patchset/2.1.0-3`
 * Derived from official release tag: `tinyos/2.1.0`
-* View the latest patchset [here](/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/patchset/2.1.0-3).
+* The commits between the two above tags represent the series of patches in the
+  [latest patchset](/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/patchset/2.1.0-3).
+
+The TMI TinyOS code requires a newer [[msp430]] toolchain.
+
+# Using TMI TinyOS
 
-The TMI TinyOS code requires a newer [[msp430]] toolchain.  A complete TinyOS
-development environment including a newer toolchain is available for
-installation from our [[APT repository|aptrepo]].  Our local source repositories
-for the other tinyos specific tools, deputy-tinyos and nesc, are also provided
-above.
+A complete TinyOS development environment including toolchain is available for
+installation from our [[APT repository|aptrepo]].  Since we only use Ubuntu
+workstations for our internal development, we cannot cost justify maintaining
+packages for Windows or other Linux distributions at this time.
