-      The <acronym>deal.II</acronym> project was initially started by
-      members of the Numerical Methods group at the Heidelberg University,
-      Germany but has since become a global, open source project.
+      <acronym>deal.II</acronym> is today a global project. It
+      administered by a group of <i>principal
