+## Building documentation
+
+Tutorials and general documentation is written in Markdown format in the `docs/` folder.
+While the format is quite easy to read directly, you may prefer to view the whole thing as a website.
+To do so, simply run `jekyll serve -s docs` and view the documentation website at `http://0.0.0.0:4000` (to get jekyll, you must have ruby and do `gem install jekyll`).
-Caffe is developed with the community by the [Berkeley Vision and Learning
-Center](http://bvlc.eecs.berkeley.edu/). We welcome contributions!
+We strive to provide provide lots of usage examples, and to document all code in docstrings.
+We'd appreciate your contribution to this effort!
