+# Development
+
+## Plugins
+
+The plugins in use include
+
+  * [Material Theme for mkdocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/)
+  * [MkdocsTagPlugin - Support for Tags](https://github.com/srymh/MkdocsTagPlugin)
+
+## Build System
+
+For most folks they only want to add pages or images via Github so are not interested in how the main page is built.
+However for those interested the documentation pages are built into a site using mkdocs and the mkdocs material theme using a ci script
+[.github/workflows/ci.yml](.github/workflows/ci.yml)
+
+This is typically automatic as soon as a new commit is pushed
+
+### Manual Build
+
+If you want to experiment manually building the documentation for experimenting with plugins etc.
+There's a script in the root directory called **build.py** which can be used with python 3.8 / mkdocs / mkdocs material / any other plugins required.
+There's also a **virtenv** directory that can be used to setup a virtual python environment.
+
+To have the site built locally and visible on [http://127.0.0.1:8000] on your own machine
+You can ether run
+
+  * build.py serve
+  * mkdocs serve --livereload
