 Otherwise, if you're a developer of an existing email program and
 would love a good library interface for fast, global search with
 support for arbitrary tags, then Notmuch also may be exactly what
 you've been looking for.
 
+## Documentation
+
+So far, there is not much documentation.  Eventually, the wiki will
+contain a reference for users.  This is what we have so far:
+
+* [General how-tos](/howto)
+* [Initial Tagging](/initial_tagging)
+* [Emacstips](/emacstips)
+* [Remote Usage](/remoteusage)
+
+Apart from the wiki, help is available via email.  Join the mailing
+list.  Read the archives.  Ask questions.
