+
+## Background
+
+The Mifos project (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mifos.org/about">http://www.mifos.org/about</a>) was originally setup and guided by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.grameenfoundation.org/">Grameen Foundation</a>. It has been open source since inception but in recent years the community for open source microfinance (http://www.openmf.org) took over maintanance and future development of the Mifos project.
+
+Whilst the community continues to maintain and support the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/mifos/head">original Mifos MIS project</a>, most development has shifted to the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/openMF/mifosx">Mifos X project</a>.
+
+## Mifos X
+
+Mifos X is a MIS platform for microfinance. Its capabilities are exposed through a RESTful API.
