+# Contributing to WSO2 Enterprise Integrator Documentation
+
+WSO2 Enterprise Integrator (EI) documentation is a relavitely new project that involves hosting source documentation on GitHub. This documentation is rendered using [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/), which is a static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file.
+
+We are an open-source project registered under Apache license.
+
+We appreciate your help and contributions!

+
+There is no need to do this before you send your first PR.
