 Using autobot
 -------------
 
+The buildmaster and buildslave are started with 
+``buildbot start master`` and ``buildslave stop slave``. Respective
+``stop`` commands also exist.  If you used the ``create-autobot``
+command the generated bot will have a ``restart_buildbot.py`` script
+that will stop and start both the master and slave and (if debug is
+set) remove the log as well.
+
+The generated ``master.cfg`` file reads values from an ``master.ini``
+file in the same directory
+
 It is important to remember that continuous integration is a safety
 net, not a first line of defense.

 Let me know! I'd like to make autobot a solution that works for all

+No software of any size is ever finished.  Here are a few things I
+would like to add:
 
-* singular checkout of repos on slaves
-* passing slave environment to master -> MozInfo
+* singular checkout of repos on slaves: the slaves should have a
+  singular master repo that is checked out once for each repo URL,
+  branch pair.  It is then updated as the slaves need and (e.g.)
+  cloned from there.  This should effectively minimize fetch time.
+
+* slaves should have .ini files indicated by the config
