+
+:program:`Clangd` is an implementation of the `Language Server Protocol
+<https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol>`_ leveraging Clang.
+Clangd's goal is to provide language "smartness" features like code completion,
+find references, etc. for clients such as C/C++ Editors.
+
+Using Clangd
+==================
+
+:program:`Clangd` is not meant to be used by C/C++ developers directly but
+rather from a client implementing the protocol. A client would be typically
+implemented in an IDE or an editor.
+
+At the moment, `Visual Studio Code <https://code.visualstudio.com/>`_ is mainly
+used in order to test :program:`Clangd` but more clients are likely to make
+use of :program:`Clangd` in the future as it matures and becomes a production
+quality tool. If you are interested in trying :program:`Clangd` in combination
+with Visual Studio Code, you can start by `building Clangd`_, then open Visual
+Studio Code in the clangd-vscode folder and launch the extension.
+
+Building Clangd
+==================
+
+You can follow the instructions for `building Clang
+<https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html>`_ but "extra Clang tools" is **not**
+optional.
+
+Current Status
+==================
+
+Many features could be implemented in :program:`Clangd`.
+Here is a list of features that could be useful with the status of whether or
+not they are already implemented in :program:`Clangd` and specified in the
+Language Server Protocol. Note that for some of the features, it is not clear
+whether or not they should be part of the Language Server Protocol, so those
+features might be eventually developed outside :program:`Clangd`.

+Getting Involved
+==================
+
+A good place for interested contributors is the `Clang developer mailing list
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_.
+If you're also interested in contributing patches to :program:`Clangd`, take a
+look at the `LLVM Developer Policy
+<http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html>`_ and `Code Reviews
+<http://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html>`_ page. Contributions of new features
+to the `Language Server Protocol
+<https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol>`_ itself would also be
+very useful, so that :program:`Clangd` can eventually implement them in a
+conforming way.
