-### How to Use the Guide
-
-This Guide is set up as a template repository such that there are two primary means of interacting with it:
-
-1. Building a personalized version of the Guide: select "Use this Template" at the top of the repo to generate your own version. This will create a new repository (generated from the template repo) that does _not_ share the commit history of the template. Updates could still be added from the template upstream through [`git cherry-pick`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick). More details are provided below, in [Personalizing the Guide](#personalizing-the-guide).
-2. Contributing to the Guide: fork this repo, make changes, and submit a pull request (PR) for review. Some guidance is provided in the [Pull Request Guide](https://imageomics.github.io/Imageomics-guide/wiki-guide/The-GitHub-Pull-Request-Guide/); please provide a detailed description of your changes and review the contributing guidelines (coming soon).
-
-### Personalizing the Guide
-
-Welcome to your new guide repo! The first step in updating your new guide is to give it a name; ideally this should match the name you give to the repo when using the template. You will need to update the name and hardcoded repo links across various files.
-
-Primary pages to personalize are:
-
-- [`mkdocs.yaml`](mkdocs.yaml) has comments indicating locations to personalize (e.g., updating name, logos, socials). All pages use relative links within the repository, so those connections only need to be updated if adding or removing pages.
-- [`index.md`](docs/index.md): this is the homepage for the site and should reflect your organization or group's priorities.
-- [`CITATION.cff`](CITATION.cff): please set the Imageomics Guide citation as a reference in your citation file after making your own modifications (see [template](https://imageomics.github.io/Imageomics-guide/wiki-guide/GitHub-Repo-Guide/#citation) for guidance on formatting).
-- [`Digital-products-release-licensing-policy.md`](docs/wiki-guide/Digital-products-release-licensing-policy.md): at a minimum, links should be redirected to your GitHub and Hugging Face organization pages.
-    - Other locations in pages such as the [`GitHub-Repo-Guide`](docs/wiki-guide/GitHub-Repo-Guide.md) and [`Hugging-Face-Repo-Guide.md`](docs/wiki-guide/Hugging-Face-Repo-Guide.md) also have links to our organization pages. A search and replace for "Imageomics" can be done to update these.
-- [`Technical-Infrastructure.md`](docs/wiki-guide/Technical-Infrastructure.md): this page is Imageomics-specific and includes internal-only links.
-- [Glossary for Imageomics](docs/wiki-guide/Glossary-for-Imageomics.md): this page should be updated to a topic relevant to your field or focus.
-- Templates should be updated for your organization (mainly the `Acknowledgements` sections, pre-filled URL suggestions, domain-specific suggestions and guidance).

 ### History
 
-This guide was developed alongside the [Imageomics Guide](https://imageomics.github.io/Imageomics-guide/), which houses the information needed to get started with and use institute resources readily available to all members. However, most of its content is applicable to anyone working more broadly in the field of [_imageomics_](https://imageomics.github.io/Imageomics-guide/wiki-guide/Glossary-for-Imageomics.md/#imageomics) or adjacent fields of computer and data science, and it is tailored to help domain scientists bridging that gap. _This guide_ is intended to serve as a template for others wishing to develop a similar organization-specific guide, and this solution was born out of the desire to do so for the [AI and Biodiversity Change (ABC) Global Center](http://abcresearchcenter.org) while limiting duplicative updates between guides (Imageomics and ABC share some team members on this project). The general structure of the website should be broadly applicable, but see [Personalizing the Guide](#personalizing-the-guide) for suggestions on tailoring it for the particular organization or group's needs.

We further expanded development to include a more general template guide, the [Collaborative Distributed Science Guide](https://imageomics.github.io/Collaborative-distributed-science-guide/), for others wishing to develop a similar organization-specific guide (please see the [template repository](https://github.com/Imageomics/Collaborative-distributed-science-guide) for more information).
