+    <p>
+    Ahmia is open-source search engine software for Tor hidden service deep
+    dark web sites. You can test the running search engine at ahmia.fi. For
+    more information see our <a
+    href="https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/ahmiafi">blog post about
+    Ahmia's GSoC2014 development</a>.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Ahmia is a working search engine that indexes, searches, and catalogs
+    content published on Tor Hidden Services. Furthermore, it is an environment
+    to share meaningful insights, statistics, insights, and news about the Tor
+    network itself. In this context, there is a lot of work to do.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    The Ahmia web service is written using the Django web framework. As a
+    result, the server-side language is Python. On the client-side, most of the
+    pages are plain HTML. There are some pages that require JavaScript, but the
+    search itself works without client-side JavaScript.
+    </p>

+    <p>
