 We very much welcome contributions! If you have an idea or proposal for a new
 tutorial, please open an issue with an outline.
 
+## Jupyter Notebooks
+
+The choice of Jupyter Notebook in this repo instead of the usual format 
+([reStructuredText, through Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html))
+used in the main NumPy documentation has two reasons:
+
+ * Jupyter notebooks are a common format for communicating scientific
+   information.
+ * rST may present a barrier for some people who might otherwise be very
+   interested in contributing tutorial material.
+
+## Generating the "site"
+
+Sphinx is configured with the appropriate extensions to execute the notebooks
+and generated webpages from them. To accomplish this from a fresh repo:
+
+1. Install the dependencies: from a terminal, run
+
+   ```
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+   To execute the notebooks, you'll also need to install the dependencies for
+   the tutorial(s) themselves:
+
+   ```
+   pip install -r content/requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+2. Build and view: from your terminal, run
+
+   ```
+   make html && <your_browser> _build/html/index.html
+   ```
+
+## Adding your own tutorials
+
+If you have your own tutorial in the form of a Jupyter notebook and you'd like
+to try it out on the site:
+
+1. Add your notebook to the `content/` directory
+2. Update `content/requirements.txt` with the dependencies for your tutorial
+3. Update the `toctree` in `index.rst` to include your new entry
+4. Update the attribution section (below) to credit the original tutorial 
+   author.
