+## Overview
+
+Files in the `source` directory are resources for deployment to the CDN.
+
+Files in the `website` directory are specific to the website.
+
+`config.json` is used to control building, staging, and deployment
+
+
+## Deploying to the CDN
+
+To stage your changes to a versioned directory in your local CDN repository, type `fab stage` This runs a build, copies the files into a versioned directory in your local `cdn.knightlab.com` repository, and tags the last commit with a version number.
+
+To stage your changes to the `latest` directory in your local CDN repository, type `fab stage_latest` This copies files from a versioned directory in your local `cdn.knightlab.com` respository into the corresponding `latest` directory. 
+
+You must push and deploy all CDN changes separately from that repository.
+
+
+## Deploying to S3 (timeline.knightlab.com)
+
+To deploy to S3, type `fab deploy`.
