+=== Making changes to MFPL's puppet files ===
+
+There are three main directories:
+
+ * files: used to store files that are copied to our servers as is 
+ * manifests: the place where May First/People Link specific documentation is kept
+ * modules: generic modules used to help define configurations that are shared with others
+
+Edits to any file in the files or manifests directories can be changed, committed and pushed like in any other git repo.
+
+However, changes to the modules directory require more careful attention since thay are stored as git submodules.
