+This is a mod for [Minetest](https://minetest.net) that enables diverse governance mechanisms. It seeks to implement the [Modular Politics](https://metagov.org/modpol) proposal. In the future, it
 will be possible to use this framework to simulate governance in a
 number of platform contexts.
 
 This mod produces an API that can serve as a dependency for other mods that add specific governance functionalities. 
 
-Currently modpol requires a Unix-style system. But it is intended to become more fully platform independent. Here, only the init.lua (and the optional storage-mod_storage.lua) files are Minetest-specific.

-## Command line
+## Installation in Minetest
 
-To interact with the interpreter on Unix systems in CLI mode, install
-lua or luajit and execute the following command in this directory:
+To use this in Minetest, simply install it in your mods/ or worldmods/ folder. Minetest will load init.lua.
 
-```
-$ lua
-> dofile("modpol.lua")
-```
+In the game, open the Modular Politics interface with the command `/modpol`.
 
-For a list of global functions and tables, use `modpol.menu()`.
 
-## Minetest
+## Standalone Version on the Command Line
 
-To use this in Minetest, simply install it as a Minetest mod. Minetest
-will load init.lua. See the source code for information about chat
-commands which can then be used.
+Modular Politics can also be used independently of Minetest as a command-line tool. Currently command-line use of modpol requires a Unix-style system, but it is intended to become more fully platform independent.
 
-Use the `/menu` command to see a list of registered chat commands.
+The command-line version is in the `modpol` subdirectory. To interact with the interpreter on Unix systems in CLI mode, install lua or luajit and execute the following command in this directory:
 
+```
+$ cd modpol/
+$ lua [or luajit]
+> dofile("modpol.lua")
+```
+
+For a list of global functions and tables, use `modpol.menu()`.
 
 ## Storage

 Another storage method may be chosen in modpol.lua. A StorageRef-based method for Minetest 5.* is included: storage-mod_storage.lua.
 
 
-## Standalone Modular Politics
-
-To separate the Modular Politics core from the Minetest mod, simply remove these files:
-
-```
-mod.conf
-init.lua
-description.txt
-depends.txt
-/storage/storage-mod_storage.lua
-/modpol_minetest/
-```

-Eventually the stand-alone modpol package will be published as a separate repo.
