 numbbo/coco: Comparing Continuous Optimizers
 ============================================
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
->
-> This repository contains the source files for the `coco` framework.
-> If you don't want to *extend* the framework, you probably don't need this!
-> See instead the [new documentation](https://numbbo.it/getting-started) and use the language bindings of your choice from the package repository for your language (e.g. PyPI for Python, crates.io for Rust, ...).
+## Please [click here](https://numbbo.it/getting-started) to get started (unless for submitting an issue or for working on the code base)
 
 > [!CAUTION]
 >
 > We are currently refactoring the `coco` code base to make it more accessible.
 > Much of the documentation is therefore outdated or in a state of flux.
-> We try our best to update it as soon as possible, if you find something that you think is outdated or needs a better description, don't hestitate to open an issue or a pull request!
+> The code has been refactored into several repositories under [github/numbbo](https://github.com/numbbo).
+> We try our best to update everything as soon as possible, if you find something that you think is outdated or needs a better description, don't hestitate to open an issue or a pull request!
