+<p>
+This document is intended as a "getting started" guide. It has three audiences: first-time users
+looking to install Apache Lucene in their application; developers looking to modify or base
+the applications they develop on Lucene; and developers looking to become involved in and contribute
+to the development of Lucene. This document is written in tutorial and walk-through format. The
+goal is to help you "get started". It does not go into great depth on some of the conceptual or
+inner details of Lucene.
