+Overview
+========
+
+This repository was created as a private staring point for the vpp documentation
+project. It is expected that it will be used as a sandbox that can be used to
+evaluate and comment on the new fd.io document structure.
+
+Build and Load Instructions
+===========================
+I build and load the documents using a mac, but these instuctions should be portable
+to any platform. I used the Python virtual environment.
+
+For more information on how to use the Python virtual enviroment check out
+`Installing packages using pip and virtualenv`_.
+
