+## Contributing to the documentation
+
+We appreciate [bug
+reports](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/issues/new?template=bug_report.md)
+about any problems, however small, lurking in [our documentation
+website](https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/prerelease) or in the `jj help` docs.
+If a part of the bug report template does not apply, you can just delete it.
+
+Before reporting or working on a problem with the documentation website, we'd
+appreciate it if you could check that the problem still exists in the
+"prerelease" version of the documentation (as opposed to the docs for one of the
+released versions of `jj`). You can use the version switcher in the top-left of
+the website to do so.
+
+If you are willing to make a PR fixing a documentation problem, even better!
+
+The documentation website sources are Markdown files located in the [`docs/`
+directory](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/tree/main/docs). You do not need to
+know Rust to work with them. See below for [instructions on how to preview the
+HTML docs](#previewing-the-html-documentation) as you edit the Markdown files.
+Doing so is optional, but recommended.
+
+The `jj help` docs are sourced from the "docstring" comments inside the Rust
+sources, currently from the [`cli/src/commands`
+directory](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/tree/main/cli/src/commands). Working
+on them does require setting up a Rust development environment, as described
+below, and may occasionally require adjusting a test.

 ## Learning Rust
 
 In addition to the [Rust Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) and the other
 excellent resources at <https://www.rust-lang.org/learn>, we recommend the
 ["Comprehensive Rust" mini-course](https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/)
 for an overview, especially if you are familiar with C++.
