+Editing this documentation
+--------------------------
+
+1. If you haven't already, clone the Gambit repository from GitHub: ::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/gambitproject/gambit.git
+    cd gambit
+
+2. Either install the docs requirements into your existing PyGambit development environment, or create a new virtual environment and install both the requirements and PyGambit there. For example, you can use `venv` to create a new environment: ::
+
+    python -m venv docenv
+    source docenv/bin/activate
+
+3. Install the requirements and make the docs: ::
+
+    pip install .
+    cd doc
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    make html
+
+4. Open ``doc/_build/html/index.html`` in your browser to view the documentation.
+
+5. Make any changes you want to the `.rst` files in the ``doc`` directory and rebuld the documentation to check your changes.
+
+6. Follow the usual GitHub workflow to commit your changes and push them to the repository.
+
+7. Core developers will review your changes and merge to the master branch, which automatically deploys the documentation via the ReadTheDocs service.
+
+.. TODO: Add instructions for the GitHub workflow during contributor docs refactoring.
