+# Ardour Tutorial
+
+This is a crash course into Ardour, a free/libre digital audio workstation.
+
+The content was originally written around in 2009 during a Book Sprint led by
+Derek Holzer for [FLOSS Manuals](http://archive.flossmanuals.net/ardour/). It
+was later updated by multiple contributors and maintained by Bruno Ruviaro.
+
+All credits are on the
+[Credits](https://prokoudine.github.io/ardour-tutorial/en/appendices/credits/)
+page.
+
+This updated version is technically a port from Jekyll to Hugo and content-wise
+mostly an update to match many changes between Ardour v4/v6 and v7.0 plus some
+new material. The intention is to make it the official Ardour tutorial for
+beginners and maintain it as part of the upastream project.
