+Development
+===========
+
+The source code is hosted on GitHub under VyOS organization `github.com/vyos`_
+
+The code is split into modules. VyOS is composed of multiple individual packages,
+some of them are periodically synced with upstream, so keeping the whole source
+under a single repository would be very inconvenient and slow. There is now an
+ongoing effort to consolidate all VyOS-specific packages into vyos-1x package,
+but the basic structure is going to stay the same, just with fewer submodules.
+
+The repository that contains the ISO build script is vyos-build_. The README will
+guide you to use the this toplevel repository.
