 What StackForge is not:
 
 * Official endorsement of a project by OpenStack.
-* Access to a GitHub organization (StackForge projects are mirrored to
-  GitHub, this is all the GitHub org is used for).

+Note that StackForge and official OpenStack projects were previously

+this does not indicate that all such projects are official OpenStack
+projects; it merely indicates that they are developed within the
+OpenStack project infrastructure.  Projects must apply to the
+Technical Committee to become official OpenStack projects.
