 ## DASL Guide
 
-The [WILDS Contributor Guide][guide] is the home for resources and best practices for WDL and Nextflow workflows, research compendia, Docker files and software.
+We maintain the [WILDS Contributor Guide][guide] as a collection of guidelines,
+review criteria, and best practices for developing production-ready WDL and 
+Nextflow workflows, research compendia, Docker files and software.
 
-In addition, the guide outlines the best practices that we strive to follow while developing WILDS.
+Our goal in developing the WILDS Contributor Guide is not just limited to the
+care and keeping of WILDS, we hope it can serve as a model for research or
+software development groups in terms of how they think about code and software
+quality.
