+<h1>About sipb-xen</h1>
+
+sipb-xen is an experimental service from the <a href="http://sipb.mit.edu/">Student Information Processing Board</a> which attempts to provide members of the MIT community with an easy way to create virtual machines which they can remotely administer.
+
+<h2>sipb-xen is an Alpha Service</h2>
+
+Lots of services claim to be beta when they're really almost release-worthy. sipb-xen is an alpha service in the true sense of the word. This means that we make almost no promises. Specifically, we make <strong>no promises</strong> about:
+
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Security</strong>: All of the current developers of sipb-xen have root access to black-mesa, the host machine for all of the virtual machines through both root and null instances.</li>
+<li><strong>Uptime</strong>: The sipb-xen developers reserve the right to bring down both black-mesa and its VMs without warning or notification.</li>
+<li><strong>Data integrity</strong>: We do not back up data on sipb-xen VMs</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you're OK with this, we hope you enjoy using and helping us test <a href="/">sipb-xen</a>.</p>
