+EdX Documentation
+###################
+
+The following documentation projects have been moved to the `edx-
+documentation`_ repository as of November 3, 2014:
+
+* course_authors
+* data
+* install_operations
+* mobile
+* OLX
+* ORA-2
+* release_notes
+* students
+
+API documentation that includes docstrings from code files is stored in the
+repository of that module.  All other documentation projects are stored in edx-
+documentation.
+
+By moving documentation to its own repository, we will be better able to
+develop workflows, manage versioning, create translations, and automate
+testing, without complicating ongoing development of the edX Platform.
