8 | | -F# is a mature, open source, cross-platform, functional-first programming language which empowers users and organizations to tackle complex computing problems with simple, maintainable, and robust code. F# is used in a wide range of application areas and is supported by industry-leading companies providing professional tools, and by an active open community. You can find out more about F# athttp://fsharp.org. |
| 10 | +The F# Compiler and Tools are also mirrored in[the corresponding repository](http://github.com/fsharp/fsharp) of the F# Software Foundation. |

| 12 | +Changes contributed here are eventually propagaed to this repository and are included in all packagings of F# and open source F# editing tools. The process for doing this is explained in this guide by the[F# Core Engineering Group](https://fsharp.github.io/2014/06/18/fsharp-contributions.html). Currently, the F# community coordinates packaging[other editions of F#](https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/) for use on Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and other platforms, and Microsoft coordinates packaging this repository as part of the Visual F# Tools. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +For historical reasons this repository is called "visualfsharp" and currently also contains the Visual F# IDE Tools. The eventual plan is to split these repositories into "fsharp" and "visualfsharp". |
