+# Documentation
+
+## About
+
+Docspell's documentation primarily lives on this website, but
+there is also valuable information contained with in the main
+[README.md](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/blob/master/README.md)
+and [various other
+READMEs](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aeikek%2Fdocspell+path%3A.md+NOT+path%3A%2F%5Ewebsite%5C%2Fsite%5C%2F%2F&type=code)
+in the repository.
+
+## Contributing
+
+First, please take a look at the ["Documentation" portion of the
+README](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/blob/master/Contributing.md#Documentation).
+
+Please note that the documentation hosted at https://docspell.org/ is for
+the current version of Docspell and will not reflect any unreleased changes
+to the code or documentation. Given that, before proposing a documentation
+improvement, please check the latest version of the documentation (on the
+`master` branch) to avoid potentially duplicating effort.
+
+### Simple Changes
+
+If you would like to contribute to this documentation website, simple edits
+to existing pages can be made by clicking the "Edit" button at the bottom
+of the live website page you wish to propose changes to. Doing so will take
+you to GitHub where you can make your changes, commit them to a branch on
+your fork of the repository, and ultimately create a pull request to get
+them reviewed and merged into the official documentation.
+
+Similarly, READMEs in the `docspell` repository can be made by opening
+the file on GitHub and clicking the "Edit" icon. New files can be added as
+well. The process is then the same as above.
+
+Of course, if you would like to make your changes locally or make more complex
+changes, you can fork the repository, clone your fork, make your changes,
+push them to the fork, and then open a pull request.
+
+### Local Preview
+
+If you would like to also preview your local changes, you can do so as follows.
+
+The subsequent commands assume you have already locally cloned the repository
+(or a fork), and have a working development environment.
+
+```bash
+# in repository root
+sbt website/zolaBuild
+cd website/site && zola serve
+```
+
+As you write changes to the website content (to disk), Zola will live-reload
+the site.
