 TripleO Documentation
-==================================
+=====================
 
-Here lies the documentation for all things TripleO
+This is the documentation source for the TripleO project. You can read
+the generated documentation at `TripleO
+Docs <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tripleo-docs/>`__.
+
+You can find out more about TripleO at the `TripleO
+Wiki <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+Documentation for the TripleO project is hosted on the OpenStack Gerrit
+site. You can view all open and resolved issues in the
+``openstack/tripleo-docs`` project at `TripleO
+Reviews <https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/tripleo-docs>`__.
+
+General information about contributing to the OpenStack documentation
+available at `OpenStack Documentation Contributor
+Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/>`__
+
+Quick Start
+-----------
+
+The following is a quick set of instructions to get you up and running
+by building the TripleO documentation locally. The first step is to get
+your Python environment configured. Information on configuring is
+available at `Python Project
+Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/project-setup/python.html>`__
+
+Next you can generate the documentation using the following command. Be
+sure to run all the commands from within the recently checked out
+repository.
+
+::
+
+    tox -edocs
+
+Now you have the documentation generated for the various available
+formats from the local source. The resulting documentation will be
+available within the ``doc/build/`` directory.
