-To install this software, manually adapt the schema to your needs
-(esp.: change the usernames contained therein), and create a
-database. The pre-configured database name is "waeup". Then
-import the schema:
+To install this software, load the database from the dump:
 
-$ psql waeup < waeup-schema.sql
+$ pg_restore waeup-dump.dump
 
 If you get errors, you may need some prerequisites, like eg PL-SQL.

 After that, get a Zope instance, preferably 2.8.2 (I only tested with that),

 Please note that this is less than alpha quality software.

+Currently, the following things should work:
+
+- A student ID can be checked against a pre-loaded list of student IDs.
+
+- A student can get a bed.
+
+- A student can enter a faculty. This requires that he has sufficient good
+  results in his examinations, and also the right set of subjects which
+  are required on a per-course-of-study basis.
+
+During all this, scratchcard PINs are consumed, which means, that these
+will be emtpy at some point.
+
+What doesn't work:
+
+- There is way to upload all the photocopied stuff.
+- Workflow in general is poor to non-existant, as well as
+- security.
+
+The absense of security means that there is no protection against misuse.
+
+This could be retrofitted somewhat, along with the much desirable
+re-architecturing, or at least restructuring, of the application.

+Suggestions and support on how to improve this software is very welcome, as
