+The Linux Kernel documentation
+==============================
+
+This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
+documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
+that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
+documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
+documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
+you want to help out.
+
+Working with the development community
+--------------------------------------
+
+The essential guides for interacting with the kernel's development
+community and getting your work upstream.

+kernel.

+
+User-oriented documentation
+---------------------------
+
+The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
+trying to get it to work optimally on a given system and application
+developers seeking information on the kernel's user-space APIs.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ admin-guide/index
+ The kernel build system <kbuild/index>
+ admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
+ User-space tools <tools/index>
+ userspace-api/index
+
+See also: the `Linux man pages <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/>`_,
+which are kept separately from the kernel's own documentation.
+
+Firmware-related documentation
+------------------------------
+The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
+platform firmwares.

+
+
+Other documentation
+-------------------
+
+There are several unsorted documents that don't seem to fit on other parts
+of the documentation body, or may require some adjustments and/or conversion
+to ReStructured Text format, or are simply too old.
