+# How to make accessible PDF
+
+The "LaTeX Tagged PDF" project is now advanced enough that more and
+more people start using it. We have therefore begun with building
+usage documentation that is not scattered across different
+repositories as this is the case at the moment.
+
+For issues encountered with the project code we have added a dedicated
+[`tagging-project`
+repository](https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project) a while ago,
+where people can report problems and look up the current state of
+known issues. It is also hosting discussions related to the project.
+
+We have now extended this to use GitHub pages providing a small [Web
+browser-friendly site](https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/). So
+far this holds
+
+ - Examples of Tagged PDFs conforming to the WTPDf, PDF/UA-1, and PDF
+ - A simple documentation what to do to produce accessible PDF
+   (describing the current tempoary interfaces)
+ - Tables the record the status of various packages and classes (i.e.,
+   whether or not they can be used with the ned tagging code) based on
+   the issues that are documented
+
+This documentation and the tables are all work in progress and will
+get updated whenever there is new information.
+
+
+If you want to help improving this, then this is easily possible.  We
+are looking for volunteers who try out the tagging code in various
+ways and report problems or package incompatibilites and help with
+developing tests that prove or disprove that the tagging code can be
+used with packages for which we don't have enough data so far.
