+How to structure your documentation
+===================================
+
+Structuring your documentation is an important part of the authoring process.
+It's important to think about the reader of the documentation,
+since they are the primary user of documentation.
+
+One of the largest benefits of a good structure is that it removes questions that keep authors from writing documentation.
+Starting with a blank page is often the hardest part of documentation,
+so anything we can do to remove this problem is a win.
+
+Recommendations for process
+---------------------------
+
+In order to avoid starting with a blank page,
+we recommend a simple process:
+
+* Choose a structure for your documentation. We recommend `Diátaxis <https://diataxis.fr/>`_ for this.
+* Find a :doc:`example project </examples>` or template to start from.
+* Start writing by filling in the structure.
+
+This process helps you get started quickly,
+and helps keep things consistent for the reader of your documentation.
+
+Diátaxis
+--------
+
+The documentation you're reading is written using the Diátaxis framework.
+It has four major parts as summarized by this image:
+
+.. image:: https://diataxis.fr/_images/diataxis.png
+
+We recommend that you read more about Diátaxis in the `documentation <https://diataxis.fr/>`_ for it.
+
+Explaining the structure to your users
+-------------------------------------
+
+One of the benefits of Diátaxis is that it's a well-known structure,
+and users might already be familiar with it.
+As long as you stick to the structure,
+your users should be able to use existing experience to navigate.
+
+Using the names that are defined (eg. Tutorials, Explanation) in a user-facing way also helps here.
