+The Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual
+******************************************
+
+Welcome
+=======
+
+Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual! This manual
+provides relevant procedures necessary for developing in the Yocto
+Project environment (i.e. developing embedded Linux images and
+user-space applications that run on targeted devices). The manual groups
+related procedures into higher-level sections. Procedures can consist of
+high-level steps or low-level steps depending on the topic.
+
+This manual provides the following:
+
+-  Procedures that help you get going with the Yocto Project. For
+   example, procedures that show you how to set up a build host and work
+   with the Yocto Project source repositories.
+
+-  Procedures that show you how to submit changes to the Yocto Project.
+   Changes can be improvements, new features, or bug fixes.
+
+-  Procedures related to "everyday" tasks you perform while developing
+   images and applications using the Yocto Project. For example,
+   procedures to create a layer, customize an image, write a new recipe,
+   and so forth.
+
+This manual does not provide the following:
+
+-  Redundant Step-by-step Instructions: For example, the
+   :doc:`/sdk-manual/index` manual contains detailed
+   instructions on how to install an SDK, which is used to develop
+   applications for target hardware.
+
+-  Reference or Conceptual Material: This type of material resides in an
+   appropriate reference manual. For example, system variables are
+   documented in the :doc:`/ref-manual/index`.
+
+-  Detailed Public Information Not Specific to the Yocto Project: For
+   example, exhaustive information on how to use the Source Control
+   Manager Git is better covered with Internet searches and official Git
+   Documentation than through the Yocto Project documentation.
+
+Other Information
+=================
+
+Because this manual presents information for many different topics,
+supplemental information is recommended for full comprehension. For
+introductory information on the Yocto Project, see the
+:yocto_home:`Yocto Project Website <>`. If you want to build an image with no
+knowledge of Yocto Project as a way of quickly testing it out, see the
+:doc:`/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index` document.
+
+For a comprehensive list of links and other documentation, see the
+":ref:`ref-manual/resources:links and related documentation`"
+section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
