-## Installation on BigBlueButton
-We've created a Docker image to make it easy to install GreenLight on a BigBlueButton 1.1-beta (or later server).  See [Installing GreenLight](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/1.1/green-light.html) in the BigBlueButton documentation.
 
-# Development
+## Installation on the BigBlueButton server
+We designed GreenLight to install on a [BigBlueButton 1.1-beta](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/1.1/install.html) (or later) server.  This means you don't need a separate server to run GreenLight.
 
-GreenLight is a rails 5 application.

+# Source Code
+
+GreenLight is a rails 5 application.   
+
+Many developers already know Rails well, and we wanted to create both a full front-end to BigBlueButton but also a reference implementation of how to fully leverage the [BigBlueButton API](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html).
+
+We invite you to build upon GreenLight and help make it better.  See [Contributing to BigBlueButton](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#contributing-to-bigbluebutton).
+
+We invite your feedback, questions, and suggests about GreenLight too.  Please post to the [developer mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bigbluebutton-dev).
