+
+### Source Files
+
+This directory contains man pages that are are converted to HTML using `mandoc`:
+
+ gmake web-manpages
+
+The result is then copied to the [website repository](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-website/tree/live/site/man)
+
+### Contributions
+
+Since deployed man pages are generated, it is important to keep them in sync with the source.
+Accepting community contributions — which will always come as website pull requests —
+is fine but the person who merges them is responsible for backporting all changes
+to the source pages in this repo.
