+    The HIFIS pages have been re-united! Yay! 
+    After some time of living separately, the former software.hifis.net and hifis.net homepages have been merged to one, as they should be. 
+    All HIFIS services - covering software, cloud, backbone and overarching services, are now being presented on one unified page. Check it out!

+
+#### Central elements of the new page
+All details, documents and explanations on HIFIS are accessible from [hifis.net]({% link index.md %}), with some being directly accessible under the following shortlinks:
+
+* [**hifis.net/services**]({% link services/index.md %}) -- All HIFIS Services in a nutshell.
+* [**hifis.net/events**]({% link events.md %}) -- HIFIS Events, including Courses and Community Events.
+* [**hifis.net/news**]({% link news/index.html %}) -- HIFIS News and Announcements.
+* [**hifis.net/publications**]({% link publications.md %}) -- Publications of HIFIS.
+* [**hifis.net/roadmap**]({% link roadmap/index.md %}) -- HIFIS Roadmap.
+* [**hifis.net/doc**](https://hifis.net/doc) -- HIFIS Technical and Adminstrative Documentation.
+
+#### Forwarding of old software.hifis.net links
+
+All links to the former software.hifis.net page are being redirected to the new site, so don't fear to end up in missing links all the way.
+However, you are encouraged to update any dangling links to the new site, when possible.
+
+#### Stay tuned!
+
+This site will be continuously updated. We will add anything that's new on topics like
+
+* New Services provided,
+* Use Cases of Services,
+* Frequently Asked Questions,
+* ...any many more!
