-The GitOps Toolkit is a set of composable APIs and specialized tools
-that can be used to build a Continuous Delivery platform on top of Kubernetes.
+Flux is a tool for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of
+configuration (like Git repositories), and automating updates to
+configuration when there is new code to deploy.
 
-These tools are build with Kubernetes controller-runtime libraries, and they
-can be dynamically configured with Kubernetes custom resources either by
-cluster admins or by other automated tools.
-The GitOps Toolkit components interact with each other via Kubernetes
-events and are responsible for the reconciliation of their designated API objects.
+Flux version 2 ("v2") is built from the ground up to use Kubernetes'
+API extension system, and to integrate with Prometheus and other core
+components of the Kubernetes ecosystem. In version 2, Flux supports
+multi-tenancy and support for syncing an arbitrary number of Git
+repositories, among other long-requested features.
+
+Flux v2 is constructed with the [GitOps Toolkit](#gitops-toolkit), a
+set of composable APIs and specialized tools for building Continuous
+Delivery on top of Kubernetes.

-## Components
+## GitOps Toolkit
+
+The GitOps Toolkit is the set of APIs and controllers that make up the
+runtime for Flux v2. The APIs comprise Kubernetes custom resources,
+which can be created and updated by a cluster user, or by other
+automation tooling.
+
+You can use the toolkit to extend Flux, or to build your own systems
+for continuous delivery -- see [the developer
+guides](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/dev-guides/).
