 ==========================
 
-TODO Add simple example and references here
+Templates and Examples
+----------------------
+Some templates are available that capture the kinds of information
+useful for different types of projects and provide simple examples of 
+restructured text.
+You can: browse the templates below; show source to look at the Restructured
+Text and Sphinx directives used; and then copy the source either from a browser window
+or by downloading the file in raw form from
+the `gerrit doc repository <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=doc.git;a=tree;f=docs/templates;/>`_.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+   :glob:
+
+   ../../../templates/**/index
+
+In addition to these simple templates and examples 
+there are many open source projects (e.g. Open Daylight, Open Stack)
+that are using Sphinx and Readthedocs where you may find examples to start with.
+Working with project teams we will continue to enhance templates here and
+capture frequently asked questions on the developer wiki question 
+topic `documentation <https://wiki.onap.org/questions/topics/16384055/documentation>`_.
+
+Each project should: decide what is relevant content; determine the
+best way to create/maintain it in a CI/CD process; and work with the
+documentation team to reference content from the master index and guides.
+Consider options including filling in a template, 
+identifying existing content that can be used as is or
+easily converted, and use of Sphinx directives/extensions to automatically
+generate restructured text from other source you already have.
