-# Working On openstates.org
+# History of open.pluralpolicy.com / openstates.org
 
-openstates.org is the public-facing result of all the work we do. The
-site is built in Django and includes the web frontend and API.
+open.pluralpolicy.com is the public-facing web app that has historically provided free democracy tools, API key registration,
+and access to bulk data. However, we are in the process of migrating functionality into the main Plural application.
+The Plural application provides continued [free legislative research and tracking tools](https://pluralpolicy.com/app/legislative-tracking)
+as well as the ability to [Find Your Legislators](https://pluralpolicy.com/open/). The Plural app is not open source,
+because our business model to support continued free democracy tools and expanded open data depends on providing
+premium policy intelligence features to organizational customers.
+
+For now, open.pluralpolicy.com will continue to provide a subset of related features:
+
+- Register and manage your API key
+- Bulk data downloads
+- v2 of the API until is taken out of service (already deprecated, so please use the [v3 API](https://v3.openstates.org/docs)
+
+The application is built in Django. Even after migration is complete, we will keep the repository up for anyone who
+is interested in the open source code. The rest of this documentation is maintained here for reference.

-Open States strives to improve civic engagement at the state level by providing data and tools regarding state legislatures. We aim to serve members of the public, activist groups, journalists, and researchers with better data on what is happening in their state capital, and to provide tools to reduce barriers to participation and increase engagement.
