-# Google Summer of Code
-
-The Postgres Operator made it to the [Google Summer of Code 2019](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/)! As a brand new mentoring organization, we are now looking for our first mentees. Check [our ideas](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/blob/master/docs/gsoc-2019/ideas.md#google-summer-of-code-2019) and start discussion in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/issues). And don't forget to spread a word about our GSoC participation to attract even more students.

-## Introduction
+## Introduction to the Postgres Operator
 
 The Postgres [operator](https://coreos.com/blog/introducing-operators.html)
 manages PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes:
 
 1. The operator watches additions, updates, and deletions of PostgreSQL cluster
-   manifests and changes the running clusters accordingly.  For example, when a
-   user submits a new manifest, the operator fetches that manifest and spawns a
-   new Postgres cluster along with all necessary entities such as Kubernetes
-   StatefulSets and Postgres roles.  See this
+   manifests and changes the running clusters accordingly. For example, when a
+   user submits a new manifest, the operator spawns a new Postgres cluster with
+   necessary entities such as StatefulSets, Services, and also Postgres roles. See this
    [Postgres cluster manifest](manifests/complete-postgres-manifest.yaml)
    for settings that a manifest may contain.
 
 2. The operator also watches updates to [its own configuration](manifests/configmap.yaml)
    and alters running Postgres clusters if necessary.  For instance, if a pod
-   docker image is changed, the operator carries out the rolling update.  That
+   Docker image is changed, the operator carries out the rolling update. That
    is, the operator re-spawns one-by-one pods of each StatefulSet it manages
    with the new Docker image.
 
 3. Finally, the operator periodically synchronizes the actual state of each
    Postgres cluster with the desired state defined in the cluster's manifest.
 
-Here is a diagram, that summarizes what would be created by the operator, when a
-new Postgres cluster CRD was submitted:

-This picture is not complete without an overview of what is inside a pod, so
-let's zoom in:

+4. The operator aims to be hands free and configuration happens only via manifests and its own config.
+   This enables easy integration in automated deploy pipelines with no access to Kubernetes directly.
 
-These two diagrams should help you to understand the basics of what kind of
-functionality the operator provides. Below we discuss all everything in more
-details.
