+title: About ContentDB
+toc: False
+
+## Development
+
+ContentDB was created by [rubenwardy](https://rubenwardy.com/) in 2018, he was lucky enough to have the time available
+as it was submitted as university coursework. To learn about the history and development of ContentDB,
+[see the blog post](https://blog.rubenwardy.com/2022/03/24/contentdb/).
+
+ContentDB is open source software, licensed on AGPLv3.0.

+
+## Why was ContentDB created?
+
+Before ContentDB, users had to manually install mods and games by unzipping their files into a directory. This is
+poor user experience, especially for first-time users.
+
+ContentDB isn't just about supporting the in-game content downloader; it's common for technical users to find
+and review packages using the ContentDB website, but install using Git rather than the in-game installer.
+**ContentDB's purpose is to be a well-formatted source of information about mods, games,
+and texture packs for Minetest**.
