+# realraum.at -- Network of Chaos
+
+This repository is hosted on [`git.realraum.at`] and on [Github].
+It contains documentation and scripts used for managing the network
+in [Realraum], an Austrian hackerspace.
+
+The copy on [Github] is (currently) deemed authoritative, to provide
+(basic) issues-tracking and PR review tools.  To push to both locations
+simultaneously, use the following `.git/config` snippet:
+
+       [remote "origin"]
+               url = git@git.realraum.at:noc
+               url = github.com:realraum/noc
+
+In the longer-term, we should setup an internal issues-and-review tool.
+
+
+[`git.realraum.at`]: https://git.realraum.at/?p=noc.git;a=summary
+[Github]:            https://github.com/realraum/noc
+[Realraum]:          https://realraum.at
+
+
+## Development process
+
+There is (currently) no barrier to pushing directly to `master`.  However,
+NOC members are welcome to submit pull requests to ask for review/feedback.
+
+Of course, “force-pushing” to `master` is not allowed, whether on
+`git.realraum.at` or Github.
+
+
+## Documentation
+
+The documentation is located in the `doc/` directory, in a format that
+can be rendered by [Ikiwiki], a static site generator.
+
+
+## Ansible
+
+Ansible scripts, previously found on `git.realraum.at:ansible`,
+are located in the `ansible/` directory.  Documentation related to the
+use of Ansible and related scripts is foind there.
