 Researchers are creating annotations for hundreds of assemblies
 in one process, or creating a number of annotations for one assembly.
 It would be useful to the wider research community to have these
 annotations included in the default browser view on those assemblies.
 
 This page outlines the procedures for submitting a set of tracks to the
 UCSC Genome Browser for inclusion in the default view of a genome assembly.
 This procedure is for developers that have a number of tracks
 to submit to a single genome assembly, or a set of tracks to deliver to multiple
 genome assemblies.
 
 Development process:
 
-- Develop your annotations in a track hub under your control.
+- Develop your annotations in a track hub under your control. Follow the steps on
+   our [track hub basics](hubBasics.html) page to create your hub.
 - Provide a reference to your development track hub to the genome browser
    for inclusion consideration.
 - By following the suggested outline, the browser will be able to
    efficiently add your annotations to the genome browser system.
+- [Contact us](mailto:genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu) when you're ready to submit your
+   tracks for consideration.
