-      <p>
-        Write a synopsis about subversion here!
+      <p> 
+        Subversion is an open source version control system, released under 
+        an Apache/BSD-style license. This application was designed, and is on 
+        track to replace CVS. Users familiar with CVS will be able to jump into 
+        Subversion easily as most of the interface is the same. Details about 
+        the benefits and technical information can be viewed on the Subversion 
+        home page, here are just a few of the highlights: 
+          <ul>
+            <li>
+              Atomic Commits
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              Versioned meta-data
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              Uses Apache web server and WebDAV/DeltaV for network communication
+            </li>
+            <li>
+              Enables binary diffs
+            </li>
+          </ul>
       </p>

-        Take a look at the book <a href=
-        "http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/">here</a> for developing with 
-        Subversion.

+    <section name="Getting Help">     
+      <p> The subversion book is an excellent resource for users and 
+        administrators, it can obtained <a href=
