+
+If you've taken COMP 2804 in the previous few years, then you're most likely familliar with the website ["DiscreteMath.ca"](https://discretemath.ca/).
+
+DiscreteMath.ca was built and maintained by CCSS executives and volunteers over the years and we're excited to welcome you to the latest version of the site.
+
+The [Carleton Computer Science Question Repository](https://questions.carletoncomputerscience.ca) is an upgraded version of DiscreteMath.ca built with the idea of eventually supporting more than just COMP 2804 and designed to improve the experience of contributing to the site.
+
+All content for the site is now statictly stored within the [project's repository](https://github.com/CarletonComputerScienceSociety/questions) and the website is redeployed automatically as soon as any contributor merges to master.
+
+<br/>
+
+## New Features
+
+In addition to an improved UI, the website also now features:
+- Written solutions for most previous COMP 2804 questions
+- Question tags indicating which chapter and section a question is from
+- The ability to practice questions with a specific tag
+
+<br/>
+
+## Contributing
+
+The website is also a great opportunity for students to get involved and possibly make their first open source contribution. 
+
+Be sure to checkout our ["contributing" section](https://github.com/CarletonComputerScienceSociety/questions?tab=readme-ov-file#contributing) on the project README to learn more about how you can get involved.
+
+Some ways students can contribute are:
+- Adding new solutions or improving the formatting of existing solutions
+- Adding missing question tags
+- Adding ["generator" scripts](https://github.com/CarletonComputerScienceSociety/questions/blob/main/docs/contributing-generators.md) to help create new variants of existing questions for students to practice
+
+<br/>
+
+## Feedback
+
+We hope you're as excited about the new website as we are! If you have any feedback, feel free to direct it to [email protected] or reach out to us on the [CCSS Discord](http://discord.carletoncomputersciencesociety.ca/).
