+# GitLab docs site
+
+## Projects we pull from
+
+There are currently 4 products that are pulled and generate the docs website:
+
+- [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab)
+- [Omnibus GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab)
+- [GitLab Runner](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner)
+- [GitLab Chart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab)
+
+NOTE:
+Although GitLab Community Edition is generated, it is hidden from the website
+as it's the same as the Enterprise Edition. We generate it for consistency,
+until [better redirects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/issues/24)
+are implemented.
+
+## Development when contributing to GitLab documentation
+
+This section is about contributing to one of the GitLab
+[projects' documentation](#projects-we-pull-from), and preview your changes at
+the same time.
+
+Before diving into writing, here are two handy links:
+
+- [Writing documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/index.html)
+- [Style guide](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/styleguide/index.html)
+
+There are multiple ways to preview GitLab documentation changes, you can:
+
+- You can [build and run the docs site locally](setup.md).
+- You can [create a Review App with each merge request](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/index.html#previewing-the-changes-live),
+ if you are a GitLab team member.
+- You can [use GDK for documentation development](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/-/blob/main/doc/howto/gitlab_docs.md).
