 ## Improving the docs
 
-We are constantly improving our documentation and are very grateful for feedback and contributions. If you would like to help, please be aware that the html documentation in the `docs` folder is automatically generated from the source files in the `src` folder. Therefore please always edit the files in `src` and never in `docs`.
+- You can help to improve the documentation! It is version-controlled in the [conda-forge.github.io repository on GitHub](https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io).   The source text is stored in the src/ subdirectory and is formatted using Python’s [reStructuredText system](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html).
