-A collection of Web Components to compose Three.js web apps.
+A collection of Web Components to compose Three.js web apps, as simply as dropping them in the DOM and defining their attributes.
+
+Based on [Lit-Element](https://lit-element.polymer-project.org), which allows you to generate a hierarchy of `<three-*>` elements and update their attribute values, driven by and bound to, data structures.
 
 ## Status
 
-Alpha, early stages of design and implementation.
+Alpha, early stages of design and implementation. Ideas and contributions appreciated and welcomed. Open an issue or submit a PR, if you'd like to participate.
 
 ## Usage
 
 Install the packages of the web components you want; they are packaged separately:
 
 ```
-$ npm install @petitatelier/three-app @petitatelier/three-camera @petitatelier/three-scene @petitatelier/three-planet
+$ npm install @petitatelier/three-app @petitatelier/three-camera ¬
+              @petitatelier/three-scene @petitatelier/three-planet
 ```
 
 The `<three-*>` web components can be used as follow (see also [demos/three-planet.html](demos/three-planet.html)):

 ## Contributing
 
+This project uses [Lerna](https://lernajs.io) to manage the packages of this mono-repository. You can execute `npx lerna …` to run any Lerna command on the packages.
+
+Lerna basically executes your command on each package of the repository. We commonly use the the following commands, wrapped as NPM scripts for convenience.
+
 ### Clone
 
     $ git clone [email protected]:olange/three-web-components.git
     $ cd three-web-components
 
 ### Setup
 
+Run at first, and for every new package:
+
     $ npm run bootstrap
 
-### Run
+### Run the dev server & code
 
 Start the local HTTP dev server and visit http://localhost:8081/demos/:
 
     $ npm run dev
 
+### Publish to NPM
+
+    $ npm run publish
+
 ### Design
 
-See model in [design intentions](DESIGN.md).
+See model in [design intentions](DESIGN.md), it shows some of the initial ideas.
+
+When creating an app, you would generally create one of more new Web Components, based on the [`ThreeObject`](packages/three-object/three-object.js) class — which itself inherits from `LitElement` — and add it to a scene. See the [packages/three-planet](packages/three-planet/three-planet.js) package for an example.
