-cdist-build-explorer| ssh localhost
-
-set -e
-git clone git://git.schottelius.org/cdist
-cd cdist
-export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin 
-cdist-build-explorer | ssh localhost
-
-
-## Architecture
-
- - User write shell scripts, which are run on the server
- - Shell scripts call cdist functions
- - cdist functions generate cconfig, which can be verified
- - if verified, generate "command file" to execute on the client
-   - client only sees the commands
-   - no special requirements on the client
-
-## next: cdist-deploy-to
-
-   - sync conf/{lib/,modules,host/$name}

 ## Introduction
 
 cdist configures your system. It is similar to
-[cfengine](http://www.cfengine.org/) and
+[cfengine](http://www.cfengine.org/) and [puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com/).
-[puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com/).
 It is inspired by both of those tools:
 
  * Try to redo the great power you get
  * But leave out the bugs you also got
 
-### Principles
+And cdist is UNIX:
 
-cdist is unix: It's designed to reuse existing tools
+It's designed to reuse existing tools,
-and does not need high level scripting language interpreters.
+does not require high level scripting language interpreters
+and is equipped with manpages.
 
-### Requirements
+### Architecture
+
+ * KISS (keep it simple and stupid)
+  * Allow very easy extension of cdist (creating own types for instance)
+ * Push (server pushes configuration) and Pull (client retrieves config) supported
+ * User defines configuration in shell scripts using cdist functions
+ * Cdist generates internal configuration (cconfig style) and afterwards applies configuration
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Server
 
  * A posix like shell
+ * SSH-Client (for push architecture)
+ * SSH-Server (for pull architecture)
+
+### Client
+
+ * A posix like shell
+ * SSH-Client (for pull architecture)
+ * SSH-Server (for push architecture)
