 KWSys is kept in its own Git repository and shared by several projects
 via copies in their source trees.  Changes to KWSys should not be made
 directly in a host project, except perhaps in maintenance branches.

+KWSys uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development and code review.
+To contribute patches:
 
-  http://public.kitware.com/Wiki/KWSys/Git
+#. Fork the upstream `KWSys Repository`_ into a personal account.
+#. Base all new work on the upstream ``master`` branch.
+#. Run ``./SetupForDevelopment.sh`` in new local work trees.
+#. Create commits making incremental, distinct, logically complete changes.
+#. Push a topic branch to a personal repository fork on GitLab.
+#. Create a GitLab Merge Request targeting the upstream ``master`` branch.
 
-to contribute changes directly to KWSys upstream.  Once changes are
-reviewed, tested, and integrated there then the copies of KWSys within

+Introduction
+============
+
+KWSys is the Kitware System Library.  It provides platform-independent
+APIs to many common system features that are implemented differently on
+every platform.  This library is intended to be shared among many
+projects at the source level, so it has a configurable namespace.
+Each project should configure KWSys to use a namespace unique to itself.
+See comments in `CMakeLists.txt`_ for details.
