+Mirror Operations
+-----------------
+
+A mirror is a full copy of the |swh| archive, operated independently from the
+Software Heritage initiative.
+
+A mirror should be able to:
+- store a full copy of the archive,
+- serve the data using the web UI,
+- search the archive using the web UI,
+- serve the data using the public API,
+- allow users to retrieve the content from the archive using the Vault service
+  (swh-vault).
+
+
+See the :ref:`swh-devel:mirror` for a complete description of the mirror
+architecture.
