+This directory contains the App Engine server code that hosts the Chrome
+Extensions documentation at http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Running the server locally
+
+1. Install the Python App Engine SDK for your platform:
+   http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html
+
+2. Use the installed development server to serve the contents of this directory:
+   http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/devserver.html
+
+   Typically, this will be something like (run from this directory)
+
+     /path/to/dev_appserver.py --post=8080 .
+
+3. Navigate to http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port you specified)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Deploying the server to code.google.com:
+
+You will need to have access to the appropriate appspot.com app. Contact
+aa@chromium.org or kurrik@chromium.org to obtain access.
+
+Once you have access:
+
+1. Increment the version in app.yaml so we can roll back if the update breaks.
+
+2. Run appcfg.py (supplied with the App Engine SDK) to upload the server code:
+
+    appcfg.py update .
+
+3. When prompted for your credentials, enter the information for the account
+   that has access to the production app.
+
+4. Go to http://www.appspot.com, select the docs project, click "versions" in
+   the sidebar, and make the version you just deployed the "default" version.
+
+   If you get an error about too many versions when deploying, go into this
+   view and delete the version which was deployed the longest time ago.  Then
+   try to deploy again.
