+    <para>
+        Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean git
+        repository. 
+        The git tree represents the selected features, board support,
+        and configurations extensively tested by Yocto Project. 
+        The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community
+        best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.

+        This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information
+        on its history, organization, benefits, and use.
+        The manual consists of two sections:
+        <itemizedlist>
+            <listitem><para>Concepts - Describes concepts behind the kernel.
+                You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in 
+                the way it is.  You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization 
+                and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your 
+                design process.</para></listitem>
+            <listitem><para>Using the Kernel - Describes best practices and "how-to" information
+                that lets you put the kernel to practical use.  Some examples are "How to Build a 
+                Project Specific Tree", "How to Examine Changes in a Branch", and "Saving Kernel
+                Modifications."</para></listitem>
+        </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
