Welcome to AstroConda's documentation!
======================================
-Contents:
+AstroConda is a free software repository maintained by the `Space Telescope Science Institute <http://www.stsci.edu/>`_ (STScI)
+in Baltimore, Maryland. This repository provides tools and utilities commonly used by the astronomical community.
+
+The components provided through the `astroconda <http://ssb.stsci.edu/astroconda>`_ channel on `ssb.stsci.edu <http://ssb.stsci.edu>`_
+include most of the tools the user needs to work with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data and data from other telescopes in
+a single Anaconda Python environment. Each of the components contains sets of packages which have also been built and tested
+to insure that they work with each other in the same environment.
