 # MARVIN-config
 
-Configuration files for MARVIN on the TIB servers, public for forking the architecture
+MARVIN is the release bot that does automated DBpedia releases each month on three different servers for generic, mappings, wikidata extraction. 
+
+The repository at https://git.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/dbpedia-assoc/marvin-config can be used to fork the architecture for creating extensions, developing new extractors or debugging old ones. 
+
+Fixes and patches will be manually deployed via `git pull` from the `master` branch of the [DBpedia Extraction Framework](https://github.com/dbpedia/extraction-framework/). 
+
+The architecture and workflow can also be forked and adapted to completely different extractions and derive operations outside of the DBpedia framework.
