 ## What is Poppins?
 
-Poppins is a [manifesto](MANIFESTO.md) that states the importance of having entire open source projects focused on beginners and first contributors and how to do so. A project is considerate a "Poppins project" if it is mainly managed to help **beginners** to level up their skills and increase their experience with OSS in a **mentorship** community atmosphere. Poppins projects have a slower development pace and are not focused on making the best software out there, instead it aims to help beginners make their first contributions following a mentor-based learning approach, covering the main aspects of how to build a good OSS in a healthy community.
+Poppins is a [manifesto](MANIFESTO.md) that emphasizes the importance of having entire open source projects focused on helping first-time contributors get involved with open source development. A project is considered a "Poppins project" if it is managed with the primary goal of helping **beginners** to level up their skills and increase their experience with OSS in an atmosphere defined by community and **mentorship**. Poppins projects have a slower development pace than production-level projects, and are not necessarily focused on making the best software out there. Instead, they aim to help beginners make their first open source contributions, thereby exposing them to the main aspects of how to build good OSS in a healthy community.
 
-Projects created with this purpose may use the Poppins badge <img src="badge-poppins.svg" alt="Poppins"> to identify them as a good place for beginners to make their first contributions and learn how the OSS development works for real.

 ## Trivia
 
-The name is inspired by the [Pamela Lyndon Travers (P. L. Travers)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._L._Travers) character and Disney movies **Mary Poppins**, the magical nanny that shows to two neglected children how the world can be a fascinating place ready to be explored with excitement. During the mentoring process of the kids, **Mary Poppins** demonstrates affection, knowledge, experience, skill (magic), intelligence, fun and discipline.
