-[Nephio project's](https://nephio.org) mission is "to deliver carrier-grade, simple, open, Kubernetes-based cloud native intent automation and
-common automation templates that materially simplify the deployment and management of multi-vendor cloud infrastructure
-and network functions across large scale edge deployments."
+Porch is a Kubernetes extension apiserver that manages the lifecycle of KRM configuration packages in Git repositories.
+It provides package operations through Kubernetes resources, enabling GitOps workflows with approval gates, automation, and collaboration.

+## Part of the Nephio Project
+
+Porch was originally developed in the [kpt project](https://github.com/kptdev/kpt) and donated to [Nephio](https://nephio.org) in December 2023.
+It is maintained by the Nephio community and continues to evolve as a key component for configuration-as-data workflows.
