  Describe your organization.::
-    MacPorts is a ports collection and packaging system for OS X. We have an ever-growing collection of ports (currently over 16000), many of which accept multiple configuration variants. MacPorts is one of the primary means by which open source software is compiled for and installed onto OS X, making it a primary interface between OS X and the rest of the open source world.
+    MacPorts was created in 2002 and is a ports collection and packaging system for OS X. We have an ever-growing collection of ports (currently over 16500), many of which accept multiple configuration variants. MacPorts is one of the primary means by which open source software is compiled for and installed onto OS X, making it a primary interface between OS X and the rest of the open source world.
 
  Why is your organization applying to participate in Google Summer of Code 2013? What do you hope to gain by participating?::
     We apply once more as we hope to implement new features in MacPorts. We also intend to attract new developers to our project and its community. With new feature additions and enhancements to our components (e.g. our GUI) we hope to become more user-friendly for the average OS X user and further increase the quality of our packages. Some big goals this year are minimizing MacPorts' dependency on Xcode since we can now provide pre-built binaries and Apple now provides a standalone compiler installer and improvements to the dependency resolution.
