+            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.
+        </para>

+        <para>
+            This manual provides the following:

+                <listitem><para>
+                    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.

+                <listitem><para>
+                    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.

+                    Redundant Step-by-step Instructions:

+                    manual contains detailed instructions on how to install an
+                    SDK, which is used to develop applications for target
+                    hardware.

+                    This type of material resides in an appropriate reference
+                    manual.
+                    For example, system variables are documented in the

+                    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.

+            Because this manual presents information for many different
+            topics, supplemental information is recommended for full
+            comprehension.

+            as a way of quickly testing it out, see the
