+## Content Needs
 
-## Contributor License Agreement
+The content in this repository attempts to document the latest version of TrueNAS CORE, TrueNAS SCALE, and TrueCommand.
+It is very easy for content to become out of date or syntax and typographical errors to creep in.
+Contributions that resolve a discovered content issue are extremely helpful!

+## Upstream Changes

-(even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it
-again.
