+This section of the manual documents various parts of the internals of
+QEMU. You only need to read it if you are interested in reading or
modifying QEMU's source code.
+QEMU is a large and mature project with a number of complex subsystems
+that can be overwhelming to understand. The development documentation
+is not comprehensive but hopefully presents enough to get you started.
+If there are areas that are unclear please reach out either via the
+IRC channel or mailing list and hopefully we can improve the
+documentation for future developers.
+
+All developers will want to familiarise themselves with
+:ref:`development_process` and how the community interacts. Please pay
+particular attention to the :ref:`coding-style` and
+:ref:`submitting-a-patch` sections to avoid common pitfalls.
+
+If you wish to implement a new hardware model you will want to read
+through the :ref:`qom` documentation to understand how QEMU's object
+model works.
+
+Those wishing to enhance or add new CPU emulation capabilities will
+want to read our :ref:`tcg` documentation, especially the overview of
+the :ref:`tcg_internals`.
