+<h2 id="Aug-2018">August 2018</h2>
+
+<p>Hello and welcome to the revised Android Open Source Project (AOSP) website.
+As our site has grown, we’ve reorganized the platform documentation navigation
+to better accommodate new and updated information.</p>
+
+<p>Please see the subsections below for a guide to major changes. See the <a
+ href="/setup/start/p-release-notes">Release Notes</a> for feature summaries,
+ updates, and additions. Send us your feedback via bugs filed at <a
+ href="https://g.co/androidsourceissue"
+ class="external">g.co/androidsourceissue</a> or by clicking the <a
+ href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=191476">Site
+ Feedback</a> link in the footer of every page on the site.</p>
+
+<h3 id="second-menu">Second horizontal menu</h3>
+
+<p>The most sweeping change is the introduction of a second horizontal menu of
+tabs within the site’s navigation to better expose deeper pages.
+Now, instead of left navigation menus containing dozens of entries, each subtab
+contains a small list of sections and pages directly relevant to the associated
+topic identified in the subtab.</p>
+
+<p>Note we have not yet updated directory paths and URLs for existing
+documentation to avoid breaking bookmarks and external links… yet. In
+time, we will make these changes and institute redirects accordingly. So
+revisit the site for new locations and update bookmarks as you find
+changes.</p>
+
+<h3 id="set-up">Setup to Set up</h3>
+
+<p>The main <strong>Set up</strong> tab has been renamed slightly from
+<em>Setup</em> to match the verbs used for subsequent primary tabs.
+<strong>Download</strong> and <strong>Build</strong> contents have been split
+into distinct subtabs to ease access to the pages they contain. The
+<em>Develop</em> subsection has been renamed as a <strong>Create</strong>
+subtab to avoid confusion with the new top-level <strong>Develop</strong> tab
+of the same name.</p>
+
+<p>The information previously found on the <em>Compatibility &gt; Contact
+Us</em> page has been merged into the main <strong>Set up &gt; Contact
+(Community)</strong> list.
+</p>
+
+<h3 id="design">Compatibility to Design</h3>
+
+<p>The information formerly found on the <em>Compatibility</em> top-level tab
+can now be found under <strong>Design</strong>. See the
+<strong>Compatibility</strong> subtab for an overview of that program and links
+to the new <em>Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD)</em>.</p>
+
+<p>In a related change, instructions for the <em>Android Compatibility Test
+Suite (CTS)</em> and general debugging information have been moved to a
+new <strong>Tests</strong> subtab. <strong>Display</strong> and
+<strong>Settings</strong> menu guidelines have been shifted to dedicated
+subtabs.</p>
+
+<h3 id="develop">Porting to Develop</h3>
+
+<p>The <em>Porting</em> tab has been renamed <strong>Develop</strong> to better
+convey the instructions this tab contains. Largely focused upon implementing
+individual interfaces, this documentation helps you write the drivers necessary
+to connect your device to the Android operating system.</p>
+
+<p>As a result, the <strong>Architecture</strong> section describing the
+overarching <em>HIDL</em> format has been moved to the <strong>Design</strong>
+tab for consideration during the planning phase, earlier in the development
+cycle. The <strong>Bootloader</strong> contents now live under
+<strong>Design &gt; Architecture,</strong> while an
+<strong>Interaction</strong> subtab has been introduced to contain
+<em>Input</em>, <em>Sensors</em>, and related information.</p>
+
+<p>The <strong>Connectivity</strong> section has been reorganized to include
+<strong>Bluetooth and NFC</strong>, <strong>Calling and Messaging</strong>,
+<strong>Carrier</strong>, and <strong>Wi-Fi</strong> subsections. In addition,
+the Wi-Fi section includes the following new articles:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-overview">Overview</a></li>
+ <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-hal">Wi-Fi HAL</a></li>
+ <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-passpoint">Passpoint R1</a></li>
+ <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-debug">Testing and Debugging</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="configure">Tuning to Configure</h3>
+
+<p>The <em>Tuning</em> tab has been renamed <strong>Configure</strong> to encapsulate more than
+customization and optimization steps. The former <em>Device Administration</em>
+subsection is now found under <strong>Enterprise</strong>. The <em>ART and
+Dalvik</em> contents reside under <strong>ART</strong>, and
+<em>Over-the-air (OTA) update</em> information lives under
+<strong>Updates</strong>.</p>
