-## Welcome
+* Under ACTIVE development
 
-Welcome to the Kubernetes Template Registry.
+Source of curated application definitions (a.k.a Charts) for Kubernetes Helm. For more information about installing and using Helm, see its
+[README.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/tree/master/README.md). To get a quick introduction to the developer's experience using Helm and Charts see this [developer workflow](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/docs/workflow/developer-workflows.md).
 
-This registry holds Deployment Manager
-[templates](https://github.com/kubernetes/deployment-manager/tree/master/docs/design/design.md#templates)
-that you can use to create, describe, update and delete Kubernetes applications.
+## Source Repository
 
-For more information about installing and using Deployment Manager, see its
-[README.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/deployment-manager/tree/master/README.md).
+This Github repository contains the source of Helm Charts that will soon become available on `gs://kubernetes-charts`.
 
-## Organization
+Charts are already available for testing at `gs://kubernetes-charts-testing`. You can browse those Charts directly on the Google Cloud Storage [console](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/kubernetes-charts-testing).
 
-The Kubernetes Template Registry is a standard Deployment Manager template registry.
-See
-[Template registries](https://github.com/kubernetes/deployment-manager/tree/master/docs/templates/registry.md)
-to learn how template registries are organized.
+Charts are packaged and uploaded to a repository according to a [workflow](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/docs/pushing_charts.md)
 
-## Usage
+## Chart Format
 
-The templates in this registry can be accessed directly from the Deployment Manager
-command line interface, as described in
-[Accessing a template registry](https://github.com/kubernetes/deployment-manager/blob/master/docs/templates/registry.md#accessing-a-template-registry).
+The format of Charts is defined in this [document](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/docs/design/chart_format.md) in the Helm [repository](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm.git)
 
-They can also be used in configurations and other templates, as described in
-[Template references](https://github.com/kubernetes/deployment-manager/blob/master/docs/design/design.md#template-references).
+Before contributing a Chart, become familiar with this format. Note that the project is still under active development and the format may still evolve a bit.
 
-## Contributing
+The format is slightly different from the Deis's [Charts](https://github.com/helm/charts.git) where it originated.
 
-Your contributions are welcome.
+## Status of the Project
 
-We use the same [workflow](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/devel/development.md#git-setup),
-[License](LICENSE) and [Contributor License Agreement](CONTRIBUTING.md) as the main Kubernetes repository.
+This project is still under active development, so you might run into [issues](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/issues). If you do, please don't be shy about letting us know, or better yet, contribute a fix or feature.
