     <p>
-    Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to
-    improve their privacy and security on the Internet.  It also enables
-    software developers to create new communication tools
-    with built-in privacy features.  Tor provides the foundation for
-    a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals
-    to share information over public networks without compromising their
-    privacy.
+    The Tor network is a group of <a href="<page
+    getinvolved/volunteer>">volunteer</a>-operated servers that allows people
+    to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Tor's users employ
+    this network by connecting through a series of virtual tunnels rather than
+    making a direct connection, thus allowing both organizations and
+    individuals to share information over public networks without compromising
+    their privacy. Along the same line, Tor is an effective censorship
+    circumvention tool, allowing its users to reach otherwise blocked
+    destinations or content.  Tor can also be used as a building block for
+    software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy
+    features.
