# Apache Geode Site
+
+This directory contains the source files for the project
[website](https://geode.apache.org). Website content is written in
[Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics) and the site files
are generated from that source by a tool called
[Pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc).
+
+Source files for the website are in `website/content`. Generated files for
the website are in `build/content`.
+
+**NOTE:** To make changes to the [Apache Geode User
Guide](http://geode.apache.org/docs/), which is published to the website:
+
+- Review
[CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/develop/geode-docs/CONTRIBUTE.md)
for information about contributing to the documentation source files.
+- Follow the
[README](https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/develop/geode-book/README.md) for
information about building a local version of the guide and adding it to the
website.
+
+The website is updated by a "sync" tool that monitors the __asf-site__
branch
+of our Git repo, so after making changes you must place your updated source
+and generated files on the __asf-site__ branch and push.
+The content will be published to the
+[Geode website](http://geode.apache.org) after a 5-20 minute delay.
