+Docs
+======
+
+This repository contains the following OpenStack manual:
+
+* Database Services API Reference
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
+documentation.
+
+To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later::
+
+ apt-get install maven
+
+On Fedora 15 and later::
+
+ yum install maven3
+
+Building
+--------
+The manuals are in the ``apidocs`` directory.
+
+To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
+then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
+
+ cd apidocs
+ mvn clean generate-sources
+
+The generated PDF documentation file is::
+
+ apidocs/target/docbkx/webhelp/cdb-devguide/cdb-devguide-reviewer.pdf
+
+The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
+
+ apidocs/target/docbkx/webhelp/cdb-devguide/content/index.html
+
+Testing of changes and building of the manual
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
+directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
+gating jobs.
+
+If you like to run individual tests, run:
+
+ * ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
+ * ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
+ * ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
+ * ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
+
+tox will use the `openstack-doc-tools package
+<https://github.com/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_ for execution of
+these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the
+build check.
