 # Tor specification repository
 
-**IF YOU WANT TO READ THESE SPECS,
-[GO HERE](https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/core/torspec/).**  (It is a temporoary location; we intend to move it to `spec.torproject.org`.
+This is the source code of the Tor specification documents.
 
-This is the central location for editing and maintaining the Tor
-specifications and proposals for feature changes.
+**To read the Tor Specifications online**,
+please go to the canonical site <https://spec.torproject.org/>.
 
-The specification is rendered at
-[better-url-here](https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/core/torspec/);
-if you want to _read_ the specifications, that is the place to start.
+Overview of the source code layout, and build instructions,
+are in `spec/back-matter.md`.
 
-The official site for this repository is on
-[gitlab.torproject.org](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/)
-
-We use mdBook to convert these specifications into the webpages you see above.
-For more information about editing them, start with the
-[mdBook manual]([mdBook]((https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/)).

-The core of this repository is:
- * `spec` — A set of markdown files which contain the specifications.
-   The file `src/SUMAMRY.md` controls their ordering within the
-   rendered specification.
- * `proposals` — A directory of change proposals for the Tor protocols.
-
-Additionally, this repository contains:
- * `mdbook` — A configuration file controlling how the specifications
-   are rendered.
- * `attic` — Obsolete specifications describing no-longer-in-use
-   pieces of the Tor specification, and obsolete formats of the
-   existing specifications.
+The canonical source repository is on the Tor Project's gitab, at
