+    Abstract: This document provides an overview of the TDeb format, TDeb
+     design and usage. This specification should be considered as a work in
+     progress. Online version: http://people.debian.org /~codehelp/tdeb

+
+# TDeb Specification
+---
+
+This is where the Draft TDeb Specification, created at the ftp-master/i18n
+meeting in Extremadura, will be developed and improved.
+
+## Motivation
+---
+
+1. Updates to translations should not require source NMU's.
+2. Translation data should not be distributed in architecture-dependent packages.
+3. Translators should have a common interface for getting updates into Debian (possibly with automated TDeb generation after i18n team review).
