+## Plugin
+
+If you'd like to try the plugin we're building, or contribute to it, you can check out this entire repository into your `wp-content/plugins` folder, then activate the plugin. You'll get a separate WordPress menu item called Gutenberg.
+
+Then, in a terminal, type `npm install`. Once that finishes, you can type `npm run build` to make the plugin functional, or `npm run dev` to keep the plugin building in the background as you work on it.
