+# Web landing page for the Tahoe-LAFS project
+
+The goal of this web page is to represent the Tahoe-LAFS project to the public.
+
+It gives guidance on getting started for end-users, developers building with Tahoe-LAFS and hackers interested working on Tahoe-LAFS itself alike.
+
+
+## Building
+
+This web page is built and deployed by CI.  A preview is also automaticaly genereated for PRs made from branches local to this repository (require push/write permission).
+
+If you want to pre-view your changes on your local machine before pushing commits, you might want to start a development server.
+
+Issuing this command on a system with Docker runs a web server on http://localhost:4000/ that re-builds and refresh the page automatically on source file change:
+
+```sh
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+We welcome contributions!  Easiest is to open tickets or pull requests directly.  If unsure, join the IRC or ask on the Tahoe-LAFS developer mailing list.
