-
 Goals of this space:
 
 1. Build Knowledge Commons
 2. Build Extitutions
 3. Network Extitutions
+
+## How to Contribute
+
+The knowledge commons is built on simple [markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/) files and served as a website through [Quartz](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/).
+
+## Get Started
+
+1. Download [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/download)
+   
+   Obsidian provides a nice UI for authoring Markdown content.
+
+
+2. Clone and setup the repo https://github.com/oovg/quartz
+
+```
+``` git clone https://github.com/oovg/quartz
+``` cd quartz
+``` yarn
+``` yarn quartz build --serve
+```
+
+3. Open the /content folder as a vault in Obsidian
+   Create and Edit content with files and folders within Obsidian
+4. Push changes back to Github.

+
+### Content Architecture
+
+
+For now we simply have a Glossary and a Reading Room sections for content.
+
+**Glossary:** Create new files, or edit existing ones in the "Glossary" folder
+**Reading Room:** Add markdown versions of relevant articles, papers, and essays in the "Reading Room" folder to add content here
+
+Feel free to propose new sections of content.
