+Roundup Reference

+Welcome
+=======
+
+This document used to be part of the `customization document`_.  The
+customization document was getting large and unwieldy.  It was a
+combination of examples and internal information that made finding
+information difficult. We often had questions on the mailing list that
+were well answered in the customization document, but finding the info
+was difficult.
+
+The documentation is slowly being reorganized using the `Diataxis
+framework`_. Help with the reorganization is welcome.
+
+
+This is the document you should look at for background on a tutorial
+or how-to guide in the customization document.
