 This primer shows how to:
 
+* Understand the role of documentation and its place in the ecosystem.
 * Identify which parts of FreeBSD are maintained by the FDP.
 * Install the required documentation tools and files.
 * Make changes to the documentation.
 * Submit changes back for review and inclusion in the FreeBSD documentation.

+== Documentation in the FreeBSD Ecosystem
+
+All documents are for the benefit of their readers, not their writers or caretakers.
+They should adapt to the reader and not expect the reader to adapt to them.
+
+Never blame the reader for:
+
+* being unable to make use of a document easily or at all
+* finding a document confusing
+* not understanding a document or how to apply it
+* not finding an explicit answer or successfully bridging gaps (or connecting dots) to reason their way to one
+
+Instead, acknowledge that the document is:
+
+* inaccessible
+* confusing
+* hard to understand or apply
+* incomplete
+
+Then, make the document:
+
+* more accessible
+* less confusing
+* clearer
+* more complete
+
+Use the following methods:
+
+* apply link:https://webaim.org/intro/#principles[accessibility best practices] to correct the problem reported and any similar ones you find
+* rework or clarify the confusing structure or language
+* add relevant examples to the part that is hard to understand or apply
+* fill in the gaps or add the missing stepping stones
