    <para>To begin contributing to the OpenPOWER Foundation documentation, the following steps must be completed:

    </para>

    <para>Once complete, you can proceed to either <xref linkend="section_template_new_document"/> or

    <section xml:id="section_installing_tools">
      <title xml:id="section_installing_tools_title">Installing tools</title>
        <para>Only two tools are required to update documentation, git and maven.  Git manages the documentation 
              source and maven provides the build framework to create the published content in PDF and html form.
              Installation steps for these tools varies by operating system.</para>
        <para>On Debian-based Linux operating systems (Ubuntu and Debian), install maven and git as follows:
        <screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput>apt-get install git</userinput>
<prompt># </prompt><userinput>apt-get install maven</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>On RPM-based Linux operating systems (Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE, SLES), install maven and git as follows:
        <screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput>yum install git</userinput>
<prompt># </prompt><userinput>yum install maven</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>On Mac OS X, use Macports to install maven and git as follows:
        <screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput>port install git</userinput>
<prompt># </prompt><userinput>port install maven3</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>or use Homebrew to install maven and git as follows:
        <screen><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>brew install git</userinput>
<prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>brew install maven</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>For information on how to setup the environment on Windows, see the following websites:

        </para>
        <note><para>Modification of documentation source files requires a text editor.  While standard editors like vim, emacs, or gedit can be used,
        it is highly recommended that an editor be used which highlights XML or Docbook syntax. If your favorite editor does not include an
        extension or plugin to accomplish this, you might consider using Bluefish to edit your docbook files.  Details on this editor
        can be found at <link xlink:href="http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html">http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html</link>.</para></note>

    <section xml:id="section_installing_fonts">
      <title xml:id="section_installing_fonts_title">Installing fonts</title>
        <para>The OpenPOWER Foundation documentation utilizes opensource fonts known as the 
        <emphasis role="bold">Chrome OS core fonts</emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold">Croscore fonts</emphasis>.
        The three TrueType fonts (TTFs) in this family Arimo (sans-serif), Tinos (serif), and Cousine (monospace).  While
        not strictly required to have these fonts on your system, it can be helpful when designing graphics and
        other images to have them installed on your development system.</para>
        <para>Only two tools are required to update documentation, git and maven.  Git manages the documentation 
              source and maven provides the build framework to create the published content in PDF and html form.
              Installation steps for these tools varies by operating system.</para>
        <para>On Debian-based Linux operating systems (Ubuntu and Debian), install Croscore fonts as follows:
        <screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput>apt-get install fonts-croscore</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>On RPM-based Linux operating systems (Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE, SLES), install Croscore fonts as follows:
        <screen><prompt># </prompt><userinput>yum install google-croscore-fonts</userinput></screen></para>
        <para>On Mac OS X and Windows systems, use a font website to download and install the Croscore fonts individually.  Most of
        these sites provide directions for Mac OS and Windows.</para>

    <section xml:id="section_creating_accounts">
      <title xml:id="section_creating_accounts_title">Creating accounts</title>
        <para>All OpenPOWER project documentation is maintained in GitHub trees, public and private.  The first
              step to creating documentation will be joining the GitHub community.</para>
        <para>To join the GitHub community,
              apply at <link xlink:href="https://github.com/join">https://github.com/join</link>.</para>
        <para>The OpenPOWER Foundation documentation trees are grouped in the OpenPOWER Foundation project at
              <link xlink:href="https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation">https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation</link>.
              Everyone should be able to see and access public trees like Docs-Master.  However, 
              if you will be participating in private OpenPOWER Foundation trees, you will need to request access from the
              Technical Steering Committee Chair, <email>tsc-chair@openpowerfoundation.org</email>.</para>

        <para>To successfully build OpenPOWER Foundation documents, common document files must be in place in addition to the specific 
        document files. These common files are obtained by cloning the OpenPOWER Foundation public project <literal>Docs-Master</literal>.</para>
        <para>To clone the OpenPOWER Foundation master document framework,
        use the clone git command:<screen><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Master.git</userinput>
