 # Radius Dashboard
 
-Frontend experience for Project Radius
+Radius Dashboard is the frontend experience for [Radius](https://github.com/radius-project/radius), a cloud-native application platform that enables developers and the platform engineers that support them to collaborate on delivering and managing cloud-native applications that follow organizational best practices for cost, operations and security, by default. Radius is an open-source project that supports deploying applications across private cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services, with more cloud providers to come.
 
-## Organization
+> NOTE: Radius Dashboard is currently in a prototype stage and thus is not yet packaged into Radius and its releases, though we are planning to add it to the Radius installation soon. The best way to use Radius Dashboard right now is to clone the repo and run it locally, see the [contribution guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions on how to build and run the code.
 
-This repo uses [corepack](https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html) and [yarn workspaces](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/workspaces/).
+The Radius Dashboard is built on [Backstage](https://backstage.io/), an open-source platform for building developer portals that provides a rich set of components to accelerate UI development. The Radius Dashboard is a skinned deployment of Backstage that includes a set of plugins that provide the Radius experience. The components that make up the dashboard are built with extensibility in mind so that they can be used in other contexts beyond Backstage in the future.
 
-It is organized as a mono-repo, and contains the following packages.
+Key features of the Radius Dashboard currently include:
 
-| Package                            | Path                              | Description                                                                     |
-| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `<root>`                           | `.`                               | The root `package.json` for the repo. Used as the entrypoint for most commands. |
-| `@internal/app`                    | `./packages/app`                  | The frontend (React) part of the Dashboard.                                     |
-| `@internal/backend`                | `./packages/backend`              | The backend (Node.js) part of the Dashboard.                                    |
-| `@radapp.io/rad-components`        | `./packages/rad-components`       | A library of reusable React components for Radius (no dependency on Backstage). |
-| `@radapp.io/plugin-radius`         | `./plugins/plugin-radius`         | The Radius frontend (React) plugin for Backstage.                               |
-| `@radapp.io/plugin-radius-backend` | `./plugins/plugin-radius-backend` | The Radius backend (Node.js) plugin for Backstage.                              |
+- _Application graph visualization_: A visualization of the application graph that shows how resources within an application are connected to each other and the underlying infrastructure.
+- _Resource overview and details_: Detailed information about resources within Radius, including applications, environments, and infrastructure.
+- _Recipes directory_: A listing of all the Radius Recipes available to the user for a given environment.
 
-### Understanding the organization
+## Getting help
 
-Our repo builds three primary outputs:
+- ❓ **Have a question?** - Visit our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/SRG3ePMKNy) to post your question and we'll get back to you ASAP
+- ⚠️ **Found an issue?** - Refer to our [Issues guide](docs/contributing/contributing-issues) for instructions on filing a bug report
+- 💡 **Have a proposal?** - Refer to our [Issues guide](docs/contributing/contributing-issues) for instructions on filing a feature request
 
-- The Radius Dashboard: this is a skinned deployment of Backstage with the layout, and set of plugins optimized for Radius.
-- The Radius Backstage plugin: our plugin is available standalone (outside of the Dashboard) so users can add our functionality to Backstage.
-- The `@radapp.io/rad-components` library: contains reusable UI like the Radius App Graph visualization. This is a separate package so we can use it in other contexts besides Backstage.
+## Contributing to Radius Dashboard
 
-The Radius Backstage plugin and `@radapp.io/rad-components` are published to NPM under the `@radapp.io` organization. The `@internal` organization prefix is used with our other packages to avoid conflicts with other public NPM packages.
+Visit [Contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information on how to contribute to Radius Dashboard.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Community
 
-- Install a modern version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download). We use v21.X.X but other versions are ok.
-- Enable corepack with `corepack enable`.
+We welcome your contributions and suggestions! One of the easiest ways to contribute is to participate in Issue discussions, chat on [Discord server](https://discord.gg/SRG3ePMKNy) or the monthly [community calls](#community-calls). For more information on the community engagement, developer and contributing guidelines and more, head over to the [Radius community repo](https://github.com/radius-project/community).
 
-You'll also want an environment where you can experiment with Radius.
+## Repositories
 
-For development, we recommend VS Code. This repo is configured with recommended extensions that can automate parts of the development process when installed.
+[Dashboard](https://github.com/radius-project/dashboard) is the Radius Dashboard repository. It contains all of Dashboard code and documentation. In addition, the Radius project has the below repositories:

-**Install dependencies:**
+## Security
 
-```bash
-yarn install
-```
+Please refer to our guide on [Reporting security vulnerabilities](https://github.com/radius-project/radius/blob/main/SECURITY.md).
 
-**Build all packages:**
+## Code of conduct
 
-```bash
-yarn workspaces foreach -A run build:all
-```
-
-**Build a specific package**
-
-```bash
-# Substitute rad-components with any package name
-yarn workspace @radapp.io/rad-components run build
-```
-
-**Build the dashboard container**
-
-```bash
-yarn install
-yarn tsc
-yarn build:backend --config ../../app-config.yaml --config ../../app-config.dashboard.yaml
-yarn build-image
-```
-
-The current `Dockerfile` is set up to build the container using state from the repo like the `node_modules/` folder. This is why the set of steps described above is required.
-
-## Scripts
-
-**Run a specific script in a specific package**
-
-```bash
-# Substitute rad-components with any package name
-# Substitute link with any script name
-yarn workspace @radapp.io/rad-components run lint
-```
-
-## Developing: Dashboard
-
-**Launch the Dashboard:**
-
-```bash
-yarn dev
-```
-
-This will launch the Dashboard at `http://localhost:3000`.
-
-### Configuration
-
-The configuration for local development (`yarn dev`) is stored in `app-config.local.yaml`. This file is a set of overrides for development that will be combined with `app-config.yaml`. See the configuration file comments for links to relevant documentation.
-
-This file is checked in but `.gitignored`'d. Feel free to make changes as needed.
-
-The `app-config.dashboard.yaml` configuration is used when deployed as part of a Radius installation.
-
-## Developing: rad-components
