+How to create documentation for your OPNFV project
+==================================================
+
+this is the directory structure of the docs/ directory that can be found in the root of your project directory
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./etc
+    ./etc/opnfv-logo.png
+    ./etc/conf.py
+    ./how-to-use-docs
+    ./how-to-use-docs/documentation-example.rst
+    ./how-to-use-docs/index.rst
+
+To create your own documentation, Create any number of directories (depending on your need) and place in each of them an index.rst.
+This index file must refence your other rst files.

+The Sphinx Build
+================
+
+When you push documentation changes to gerrit a jenkins job will create html documentation.
+
+* Verify Jobs
+For verify jobs a link to the documentation will show up as a comment in gerrit for you to see the result.
+
+* Merge jobs
+
+Once you are happy with the look of your documentation you can submit the patchset the merge job will 
+copy the output of each documentation directory to http://artifacts.opnfv.org/$project/docs/$name_of_your_folder/index.html
+
+Here are some quick examples of how to use rst markup
+
+This is a headline::
+
+  here is some code, note that it is indented
+
+links are easy to add: Here is a link to sphinx, the tool that we are using to generate documetation http://sphinx-doc.org/
+
+* Bulleted Items
+
+  **this will be bold**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  echo "Heres is a code block with bash syntax highlighting"
+
+
+Leave these at the bottom of each of your documents they are used internally
