+ 	<h3>A ready-made and easily customisable user interface for your testbed.</h3>
+
+	<p>
+		MySlice is an ambitious project aiming to support researchers throughout the lifecycle of experiments that can run on a variety 
+		of testbeds spanning different administrative domains and networking technologies. Its basic principle is to bring together 
+		available resources with useful information (characteristics, performance, network measurements).
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	MySlice inititiave started in Janury 2011 by offering annotation services for the first ederated experimental resources. Today, 
+	MySlice has taken a big step toward becoming a tand-alone web framework, which will present all available resources from testbeds 
+	across the world, interconnected through the Slice-based Facility Architecture (SFA) and annotated by the TopHat measurement system.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	Our framework is built with standard programming tools (php and javascript for the front-end and python for the back-end) 
+	and has a modular structure based on the concept of plugins for implementing different core functionalities (query editing, 
+	data display, and resource allocation).
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	The goal is to enable developers with expertise on different testbed technologies and different experimental 
+	practices to work in parallel for optimizing the tools presented to the users allowing them for a wide range of choices 
+	according to their own requirements. Opening in this way the development of web-based user tools for experimentation and 
+	sharing effort and information can increase significantly the chances for the achievement of our challenging objective.
