-[React Native](https://reactnative.dev) enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and [React](https://reactjs.org/). The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere.

+[React Native](https://reactnative.dev) is a framework developed by Facebook that enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and [React](https://reactjs.org/). The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere.
 
 This repository adds support for the [Windows 10 SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads), which allows you to build apps for [all devices supported by Windows 10](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-started-windows-10) including PCs, tablets, 2-in-1s, Xbox, Mixed reality devices etc.
 
 ## Status and roadmap
-
-We are in the process of re-implementing react-native-windows in C++, for better performance, and to better align with the shared C++ react-native core as it evolves. Please see the [Roadmap 2019](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/blog/2019/07/22/roadmap) blog for details on this effort and investment roadmap for the upcoming months.

-## Introduction
-
-See the official [React Native website](https://reactnative.dev/) for an introduction to React Native.
+[Check out our blog](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/blog/) If you'd like to stay up to date on the status of React Native for Windows and check out current and past roadmaps,  We will post all new releases, updates and general news about the project there.
 
 ## System Requirements
 
-- You can run React Native Windows UWP apps only on Windows 10 devices
-   - React Native Windows currently supports Windows 10 SDK >= [15063](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive). See [Windows 10 Compatibility](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/win10-compat) for version support details.
-- Download [Visual Studio 2017 Community or Greater](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/). (Visual Studio 2015 support has been deprecated.)
-	- You will need to start Visual Studio after it is installed to do some final setup before it can be used to build or run your React Native Windows application
+You can run React Native Windows UWP apps only on Windows 10 devices.
 
-*Note*: Development on React Native Windows itself currently requires Visual Studio 2017 or higher. It is not currently supported with VS Code, but work is ongoing as tracked [here](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-react-native/issues/1007).

-## Getting Started
-
-Want to develop a React Native Windows app? Head over to our [Getting Started Guide](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started).

-## Getting Help
-
-- Chat with us on [Reactiflux](https://discord.gg/0ZcbPKXt5bWJVmUY) in #react-native
-- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](#opening-issues)
+For a full and detailed list of the system requirements and how to set up your development platform, see our [System Requirements](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/rnw-dependencies) documentation on our website.
 
 ## Documentation
+[React Native already has great documentation](https://reactnative.dev/docs/getting-started.html) and we're working to ensure the React Native Windows is part of that documentation story.

Check out the [React documentation](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html) for further details about the React API in general.
+[React Native for Windows](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/) has it's own separate documentation site where Windows and Mac specific information, like API docs and blog updates live.
 
-For information on parity status with Android and iOS, including details on implemented and missing components and modules, along with related issues for missing features from partial implementations, go [here](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/parity-status).
+## Get Started
+See the [Getting Started Guide](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started) on our React Native for Windows website.
 
-## Extending React Native
+## Need Help?
 
-- Looking for a component? [JS.coach](https://js.coach/react-native)
-- Fellow developers write and publish React Native modules to npm and open source them on GitHub.
-- Third party modules may be missing Windows support, so reach out to the project owners directly.
-- Making modules helps grow the React Native ecosystem and community. We recommend writing modules for your use cases and sharing them on npm.
-- You should almost never need to modify or fork React Native Windows itself (the ReactNative and ReactNative.Shared project/sources) to create custom controls. The extension points should already exist to do just about anything!
-- Read the guides on [Native Modules for Windows](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/native-modules).
