+MariaDB is a database server that offers drop-in replacement functionality
+for MySQL. MariaDB is built by some of the original authors of MySQL, with
+assistance from the broader community of Free and open source software
+developers. In addition to the core functionality of MySQL, MariaDB offers
+a rich set of feature enhancements including alternate storage engines,
+server optimizations, and patches.
+
+MariaDB is primarily driven by developers at Monty Program, a company
+founded by Michael "Monty" Widenius, the original author of MySQL, but
+this is not the whole story about MariaDB. On the "About MariaDB" page you
+will find more information about all participants in the MariaDB community,
+including storage engines XtraDB and PBXT.
