+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.
+
+* Here is an example index.rst
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  Example Documentation table of contents
+  =======================================
+
+  Contents:
+
+  .. toctree::
+     :numbered:
+     :maxdepth: 4
+
+     documentation-example.rst
+
+  Indices and tables

+
+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"
