+=====================
+About these documents
+=====================
+
+
+These documents are generated from `reStructuredText
+<http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html>`_ sources by *Sphinx*, a document processor
+specifically written for the Python documentation.
+
+In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest
+changes directly on the documentation pages.
+
+Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the
+docs@python.org mailing list.  We're always looking for volunteers wanting
+to help with the docs, so feel free to send a mail there!
+
+Many thanks go to:
+
+* Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset
+  and writer of much of the content;
+* the `docutils <http://docutils.sf.net/>`_ project for creating
+  reStructuredText and the docutils suite;
+* Fredrik Lundh for his `Alternative Python Reference
+  <http://effbot.org/zone/pyref.htm>`_ project from which Sphinx got many good
+  ideas.
+
+See :ref:`reporting-bugs` for information how to report bugs in Python itself.
+
+.. including the ACKS file here so that it can be maintained separately
+.. include:: ACKS.txt
+
+It is only with the input and contributions of the Python community
+that Python has such wonderful documentation -- Thank You!
