+Yi
+==
+
+This repository contains the documentation for the Yi text editor. The documentation is available on [http://yi-editor.github.io/](http://yi-editor.github.io/).
+
+# Building
+
+The site is built with [Hakyll](https://github.com/jaspervdj/hakyll). If you're familiar with Hakyll, you should be able to just `cd` into `yi-documentation` and proceed normally.
+
+The source folder for the documentation is `yi-documentation`. Files in the top level directory are most likely Hakyll's output.
+
+If you're not a frequent Hakyll user, you can get into a Hakyll sandboxed environment either using cabal, or using Nix. Both the cabal and nix files needed for sandboxing are attached. Once you're in the development sandbox, you can build the site using `make`. The makefile will automatically build the site for you, and preview it on localhost:8000
+
+The development workflow would look like the following:
+
+~~~ bash
+$ git clone https://github.com/yi-editor/yi-editor.github.com
+$ cd yi-editor.github.com
+$ cd yi-documentation
+$ cabal sandbox-init
+$ cabal install
+$ cabal exec make
+~~~
+
+If you prefer Nix instead, just drop into a nix-shell once you're inside `yi-documentation` and run make.
+
+# Deploying
+
+The output of the site is present it `yi-documentation/_site`. Copy the files in the output directory into the root of the github project.
