+ <h2>Early stage of development</h2>
+ <p>GrapheneOS is a privacy / security research and engineering project that has been
+ under way for over 5 years. It recently became rebranded as GrapheneOS and is taking a
+ different direction based on obtaining funding for the research and development work
+ as a non-profit open source project rather than being a company. The reborn project is
+ still in a very early stage and lots of the past work on privacy and security has not
+ yet been restored for the new incarnation of the OS.</p>
+ <p>The grapheneos.org site is very new and is currently being put together. It will
+ have lots of additional documentation and tutorials in the future along with coverage
+ of various software, firmware and hardware privacy/security topics.</p>
+ <p>GrapheneOS is being supported with funding and developers from various companies
+ and other organizations interested in contributing to this shared base for a feature
+ rich private and secure mobile operating system able to run many existing
+ applications. It will take more time to organize and deploy these resources in order
+ for the project to have a strong development team with proper infrastructure behind
+ it.</p>
+ <h2>Roadmap</h2>
+ <p>Details on the roadmap of the project will be posted on the site in the near
+ future. In the long term, it aims to move beyond a hardened fork of the Android Open
+ Source Project. Achieving the goals requires moving away from relying the Linux kernel
+ as the core of the OS and foundation of the security model. It needs to move towards a
+ microkernel-based model with a Linux compatibility layer, with many stepping stones
+ leading towards that goal including adopting virtualization-based isolation.</p>
+ <p>Hardware and firmware security are core parts of the project, but it's currently
+ limited to research and submitting suggestions and bug reports upstream. In the long
+ term, the project will need to move into the hardware space.</p>
<h2>Device support</h2>
<p>In the current early stage of the project, GrapheneOS provides production releases
for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. It will support
