-Welcome to the MongoDB Manual! The Manual begins by introducing
-MongoDB and continues to describe the query language, operational
-considerations and procedures, administration, among other topics in
-addition to a thorough reference.
-
-This manual is under constant development, and will soon replace the
-existing :ref:`MongoDB Uncyclo <mongodb-wiki>`. See the ":doc:`/about`"
-page for an overview of the MongoDB Documentation project.  For now,
-documentation resources coexist and link to one another. As you
-explore the manual, expect to move between documentation sites.
-
-Getting Started
----------------
-
-MongoDB is an open-source, document-oriented database designed for
-ease of development and scalability, with particular emphasis on
-Internet applications and infrastructure.  If you're new to
-MongoDB, begin with the following resources:
-
-- :doc:`Installing MongoDB </installation>`
-- :doc:`The MongoDB Tutorial </tutorial/getting-started>`
-- :doc:`Frequently Asked Questions </faq/fundamentals>`
-
-If you're familiar with database systems that use SQL, consider the
-following documents, which compare common MongoDB conventions and
-operations with their SQL equivalents:
 
-- :doc:`/reference/sql-comparison`
-- :doc:`/reference/sql-aggregation-comparison`

-   - **For Developers**
+       :doc:`Aggregation </applications/aggregation>`
 
-     If you're new to MongoDB, consider the :doc:`/installation`
-     document, the :doc:`/faq` section and particularly the
-     :doc:`developer FAQs
-     <faq/developers>`. The :doc:`/applications/drivers` page lists the
-     client libraries which all provide basic introductory
-     tutorials. Nevertheless, MongoDB users should have a basic
-     understanding several core concepts, including:
-
-     - :doc:`/core/document`
-     - :doc:`/core/read-operations`
-     - :doc:`/core/write-operations`
-
-     Once you have selected a programming :doc:`language and driver
-     <applications/drivers>`, become familiar with the core
-     :doc:`/crud` and :doc:`/applications` documents, in particular:
-
-     - :doc:`/applications/create`,
-     - :doc:`/applications/read`,
-     - :doc:`/applications/update`, and
-     - :doc:`/applications/delete`.
-
-     As you use MongoDB more you should also be learn about
-     :doc:`Indexing </indexes>`. Many users will also find MongoDB's
-     :doc:`data aggregation </aggregation>` useful. Finally, the
-     :doc:`use case </use-cases>` and :doc:`tutorials </tutorial>`
-     documents provide examples and outline common processes and
-     practices.
-
-   - **For Administrators**
-
-     If you're administering MongoDB, you'll need to know at least the
-     basics of :doc:`querying </applications/read>` MongoDB and :wiki:`using
-     the shell <Overview+-+The+MongoDB+Interactive+Shell>`. You can
-     then the Manual's :doc:`administration </administration>`
-     section, beginning with the :doc:`configuration
-     </administration/configuration>` document.
-
-     Most deployments consist of a single replica set. Scaling the
-     database horizontally on existing hardware usually involves
-     sharding, consider the documentation of these deployment options:
-
-     - :doc:`Replication </replication>`
-     - :doc:`Sharding </sharding>`
-
-     As you begin deploying MongoDB in production environments,
-     familiarize yourself with the :ref:`Administration Tutorials
-     <tutorials-administration>` section and the following topics:
-
-     - :doc:`Security </security>`
-     - :doc:`Backups </administration/backups>`
-     - :doc:`Monitoring </administration/monitoring>`
-     - :doc:`Hardware and System Settings </administration/production-notes>`
