+# ReactOS Website Subsystems
+
+This repository contains all subsystems of the ReactOS Website (www.reactos.org).
+This includes third-party components such as the phpBB forum and MediaWiki Wiki, but also custom developments like GetBuilds, RosLogin, RosWeb, and Testman.
+
+If you are looking for the content of the ReactOS Website, check out the [web-content](https://github.com/reactos/web-content) repository.
+
+## Folder structure
+* **resources**  
+  Contains additional resources for the subsystems (like graphics templates or SQL schemas).
+  These won't end up on the web server.
+
+* **web**  
+  Everything in here will end up on the web server, resembling the exact directory structure.
+
+  * **web/www.reactos.org**  
+    The document root of the web server for subsystems. All subfolders in here will be visible to the public through HTTPS URLs.
+
+  * **web/www.reactos.org_config**  
+    Internal config files that also end up on the web server, but will only be available to the subsystems and not through public HTTPS URLs.
+
+  * **web/www.reactos.org_content**  
+     The document root of the web server for Hugo-generated content of the [web-content](https://github.com/reactos/web-content) repository.
+     All files and folders in here will be visible to the public through HTTPS URLs.
+
+## Web Server Configuration
+The nginx web server of reactos.org is configured to check the URL for the few subfolders of *web/www.reactos.org*.
+If one of these folders is requested, it will look inside *web/www.reactos.org* and enable PHP.
+For all other requests, the content will be fetched from *web/www.reactos.org_content* (without any PHP support).
