+        
+    <div class="article">
+      <p>samba4WINS is a replicating WINS server designed to run in
+      parallel with Samba 3 servers, version 3.0.21 and higher.  From
+      SerNet's <a href="http://enterprisesamba.org/index.php?id=89">press 
+      release</a>:</p>
+      
+      <blockquote>
+      <p>Initiated by <a href="http://sernet.com">SerNet</a> and sponsored by 
+      Computacenter, Fujitsu Siemens
+      Computers (FSC) and LiSoG e.V. it became possible to develop a free
+      software needed by many users: the replicating WINS server - samba4WINS.
+      Due to this solution WINS server running with Windows in a lot of
+      environments can be migrated to Linux.</p>
+      
+      <p>The urgent need to solve customer problems at the project partners
+      Computacenter and FSC in October 2005 urged the plan to develop a new
+      concept for WINS server within the Samba4-project.
+      Until now Samba3 offers the possibility to start a WINS server but
+      it cannot synchronize in a ring with other WINS servers, an ability that
+      is requested in many complex networks.
+      Even after complete migration to Linux/Unix/Samba Windows servers are
+      still inevitable in those networks. This remarkable cost factor will be
+      abolished with samba4WINS.</p>
