-            <p>StoryBoard lets you track what needs to be done across projects
-                and branches.
-                It is a proof-of-concept demo of what the ideal OpenStack task
-                tracker would
-                look like. It may or may not end up replacing Launchpad
-                Bugs/Blueprints for OpenStack task tracking and release
-                management.</p>

+                be replaced by a high-level overview of projects managed

-                <strong>tasks</strong>, which affect a given project and branch.
-                You can easily track backports of bugs to a specific branch, or
