+DTail Documentation
+===================
+
+## Installation and Usage
+
+* To get a taste, please have a look at the [Usage Examples](./examples.md).
+* Follow the [Quick Starting Guide](./quickstart.md) if you are looking into DTail your first time.
+* For a more sustainable setup, please follow the [Installation Guide](./installation.md).
+
+## Advanced topics
+
+* The [DTail Query Language](./querylanguage.md) is the starting point to dig deeper into DTail's own SQL-like mapreduce language for extracting stats from log files.
+* [Log Formats](./logformats.md) explains how to create your own custom log format for use with mapreduce queries.
+* Check out the [Testing Guide](./testing.md) for unit and integration testing.

+DTail Query Language
+====================
+
+The query language allows you to run mapreduce queries on log files. This page intends to be a reference to the language.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+For this to work, DTail needs to understand your log format. DTail already understands its own log format. You can have a look at all examples of the [examples](./examples.md) page using `-query` (these would be all examples of the `dmap` command, and some examples using the `dtail` command).
+
+DTail also ships with a generic log format, which only allows you to run very basic queries. Check out the [log formats](./logformats.md) documentation for this.
+
+To implement your own log format, please also check out the [log formats](./logformats.md) documentation.
+
