+
+## Directory structure
+
+This directory consists of following modules

+* [coap-service](#coap-service)
+* [mbed-mesh-api](#mbed-mesh-api)

+* [sal-stack-nanostack](#sal-stack-nanostack)
+
+## coap-service
+

+of the master repository.
+
+```
+rm -rf coap-service
+git clone git@github.com:ARMmbed/coap-service.git

+
+## sal-stack-nanostack
+
+This directory holds source code snapshot of the Nanostack networking library. Master repository is available for **mbed Partners** in https://github.com/ARMmbed/sal-stack-nanostack-private. 
+
+If you have access to the master repository, please send contributions against that repository.
