+\subsection{Who should read this Guide?}
+
+The Cheetah Developers' Guide is for those who want to learn how Cheetah works
+internally, or wish to modify or extend Cheetah.  It is assumed that
+you've read the Cheetah Users' Guide and have an intermediate knowledge of
+Python.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\subsection{Contents}
+
+This Guide takes a behaviorist approach.  First we'll look at what the
+Cheetah compiler generates when it compiles a template definition, and
+how it compiles the various \$placeholder features and \#directives.
+Then we'll stroll through the files in the Cheetah source distribution
+and show how each file contributes to the compilation and/or filling of
+templates.  Then we'll list every method/attribute inherited by a template
+object.  Finally, we'll describe how to submit bugfixes/enhancements to
+Cheetah, and how to add to the documentation.
+
+Appendix A will contain a BNF syntax of the Cheetah template language.
