+# Overview
+
+Yetus helps community driven software projects improve their contribution and release processes by providing:
+
+* A robust system for automatically checking new contributions against a variety of community accepted requirements
+* The means to document a well defined supported interface for downstream projects
+* Tooling to help release managers generate release documentation based on the information provided by community issue trackers and source repositories
+
+# Yetus Precommit
+
+The Yetus Precommit Patch Tester allows projects to codify their patch acceptance criteria and then evaluate incoming contributions prior to review by a committer.
+
+* Take a quick look at [our glossary of terms](precommit-glossary.md) to ensure you are familiar with the ASF and Maven jargon we'll use as terminology specific to this project.
+* For an overview of Yetus' philosophy on testing contributions and how evaluation is performed, see our [overview](precommit-architecture.md).
+* To get started on your project, including an explanation of what we'll expect in a runtime environment and what optional utilities we'll leverage, read through the [basic usage guide](precommit-basic.md).
+* If your project has advanced requirements such as module relationships not expressed in Maven, special profiles, or a need on os-specific prerequisites not managed by Maven then you'll need to use our [advanced usage guide](precommit-advanced.md).
