 </p>
 
   <p>The Einstein Toolkit can be used with your own thorns for initial data, evolution, equation of state or analysis. Writing your own thorns to work with the Einstein Toolkit requires following the conventions specified in the ADMBase and HydroBase thorns which define the basic fields (e.g. 3-metric, extrinsic curvature, lapse, shift vector, density, etc).</p>
 
+  <p>The Einstein Toolkit is supported by a distributed model, combining core support of software, tools, and documentation in its <a href="https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org">SVN repository</a> with partnerships with other developers who contribute open software and coordinate together on development. </p>

 <!--  <p>The thorns comprising the Einstein Toolkit are provided in a standard Cactus thornlist: <a href="https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th">Einstein Toolkit Thornlist</a>. A <a href="../info/documentation/">worked example</a> describes how to download, compile and run the toolkit.</p>-->
