+About the Hitchhiker's Guide
+----------------------------
+
+By the Community
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python is hosted in `Kenneth Reitz's GitHub
+<https://github.com/kennethreitz/python-guide>`_, but it is not by him.
+Rather, it is a community-driven effort to document the best finds in
+Python, tips and tricks from, help for choosing frameworks, libraries, and
+licenses, and more.
+
+For the Community
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All contributions to the Guide are welcome, from Pythonistas of all levels.
+If you think there's a gap in what the Guide covers, fork the Guide on
+GitHub and submit a pull request. Contributions are welcome from everyone,
+whether they're an old hand or a first-time Pythonista, and the authors to
+the Guide will gladly help if you have any questions about the
+appropriateness, completeness, or accuracy of a contribution.
+
+To get started working on The Hitchhiker's Guide, see
+the :doc:`/notes/contribute` page.
