+
+This plugin provides a modular framework, similar to a workflow engine, which allows the to execute recurring tasks within moodle associated with courses. 
 Possible use cases are (not limited to):
    - Deleting courses at end of life (including asking teachers for permission).
    - Doing a rollover at the end of a semester.
    - Automatically setting an end date for courses.
    
-To be adaptable to the needs of different institutions the plugin will provide multiple subplugin types.
-Those can be adjusted to the needs of your institution.
+To be adaptable to the needs of different institutions the plugin provides two subplugin types:
+
+**Trigger**: These subplugins control the conditions a course have to meet so that a specific process is started for it.
+
+**Step**: These subplugins represent atomic, reusable tasks that should be executed for a specific course.
+
+Requirements that are specific to your institution can be added through additional subplugins.
 For more information please have a look at the [wiki](https://github.com/learnweb/moodle-tool_lifecycle/wiki).
+It provides instructions for administrators as well as for developers to implement own requirements into subplugins.
+
+Installation
+============
+This is an admin plugin and should go into ``admin/tool/lifecycle``.
+Obtain this plugin from https://moodle.org/plugins/view/tool_lifecycle.
+
+Moodle version
+==============
+The plugin is continously tested with all moodle versions, which are security supported by the moodle headquarter.
+Therefore, Travis uses the most current release to build a test instance and run the behat and unit tests on them.
+In addition to all stable branches the version is also tested against the master branch to support early adopters.
