+How to report errors and improve the {pve} documentation
+========================================================
+include::attributes.txt[]
+
+Depending on which issue you want to improve, you can use a variety of
+communication mediums to reach the developers.
+
+First if you're not sure about something explained in this documentation,
+create an account on https://forum.proxmox.com/[Proxmox Forums] or use the
+http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user[pve-users mailing
+list]. Enterprise customers can use their dedicated support portal where they
+have a guaranteed response time.
+
+If you notice an error in the current documentation, use the 
+http://bugzilla.proxmox.com[Proxmox bug tracker] and propose an 
+alternate text/wording.
+
+If you want to propose new content, it depends on what you want to
+document:
+
+* if the content is specific to your setup, a wiki article is the best
+option. For instance if you want to document specific options for guest
+systems, like which combination of Qemu drivers work best with the NetBSD OS,
+this is a perfect fit for a wiki article.
+
+* if you think the content is generic enough to be of interest for all users,
+then you should try to get it in the reference documentation. The reference
+documentation is written in the easy to use asciidoc text document format, ,
+from which HTML pages, man pages and mediawiki articles are generated. Editing
+the official documentation requires a
+https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation[developer setup] and to
+checkout the documentation from the pve-docs.git repository at
+git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-docs.git.
+
+Improving the documentation is just as easy as editing a Wikipedia
+article and is an interesting foray in the development of a large
+opensource project.
