-# DevNet Writing Guidelines (Public)
+## Cisco DevNet Learning Labs Sample Code for Coding Skills
 
-Welcome to the DevNet Writing Guidelines. This repo contains DevNet's guidelines on creating learning labs, code samples, slides and setting up sandboxes for labs. 
+These code examples provide Python scripts to perform network automation tasks such as creating a ticket or getting a list of network hosts or devices. 
 
-The topics below are some of the topics of most interest to newbies.  For more the complete set of writing guidelines see this repo's [wiki](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/wiki) page.
+The step-by-step tutorials that work with this code are Learning Labs, displayed within the [Cisco DevNet Learning Labs system](https://learninglabs.cisco.com).
 
-<b>On this page</b><br>
+Contributions are welcome, and we are glad to review changes through pull requests. See [contributing.md](contributing.md) for details.

+The goal of these learning labs is to ensure a 'hands-on' learning approach rather than just theory or instructions.
 
-## Learning Labs
+## Contributing
 
-The source markdown for all of DevNet's learning labs are stored in the repos of the [CiscoDevNet](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet) organization. 
+These samples are for public consumption, so you must ensure that you have the rights to any code that you contribute.
 
-If you want to create and publish a lab on the DevNet site, you must commit the lab and its associated files to a repo within the [CiscoDevNet](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet) organization.  The lab's markdown, images, JSON metadata, etc must exist in a certain directory structure.  The next section explains how to do that. 
+## Getting Involved
 
-### How do I author a learning lab?
+* If you'd like to contribute examples for an existing lab, refer to [contributing.md](contributing.md).
+* If you're interested in creating a new Cisco DevNet Learning Lab or code example, please contact a DevNet administrator for guidance.
 
-See the wiki page: [How To Create A New Lab](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/wiki/How-To-Create-A-New-Lab)
-
-### Templates
-
-There are two kinds of templates: one for labs and one for sample code. 
-
-#### Lab template
-
-The learning lab template is stored in the following directory:
-
-> https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/tree/master/labs
-
-
-#### Sample Code template
-
-The template for code samples is here:
-
-> https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/tree/master/code-samples
-
-## Code Conventions
-
-See the [wiki](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/wiki) for the style guide on DevNet coding conventions.
-
-
-## Author Scripts
-
-The `scripts` folder contains python scripts that might be useful when authoring. You do not have to use these scripts to author labs. They are just helpful tools that other authors have created.
-
-For example, the `create_new_lab.py` script creates a directory structure and copies the template used to create a new lab. You could do the same thing manually.
