+documentation
+=============
+
+This is the location for the Yocto Project documentation. Documentation
+consists of six manuals (see below).
+
+Manual Organization
+===================
+
+Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:
+
+* adt-manual - The Yocto Project Application Development Toolkit (ADT)
+ User's Guide.
+* bsp-guide - The Yocto Project Board Support (BSP) Developer's Guide
+* dev-manual - The Yocto Project Development Manual
+* kernel-manual - The Yocto Project Kernel Architecture and Use Manual
+* poky-ref-manual - The Yocto Project Reference Manual
+* yocto-project-qs - The Yocto Project Quick Start
+
+Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures.
+
+Makefile
+========
+
+The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF,
+tarballs, etc. Details on how the Makefile work are documented
+inside the Makefile. See that file for more information.
+
+To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name
+of the folder containing the manual's contents.
+For example, the following command run from the documentation directory
+creates an HTML and a PDF version of the ADT manual.
+The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:
+
+ $ make DOC=adt-manual
+
+poky.ent
+========
+
+This file defines variables used for documentation production. The variables
+are used to define release pathnames, URLs for the published manuals, etc.
+
+template
+========
+Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.
+
+tools
+=====
+Contains a tool to convert the DocBook files to PDF format.
