 # thesis-NTNU
 
-An NTNU thesis LaTeX document class for bachelor, master, and PhD theses. It replaces previous templates like https://github.com/COPCSE-NTNU/bachelor-thesis-NTNU and https://github.com/COPCSE-NTNU/master-theses-NTNU and provides a single template for theses at all study levels.
+CoPCSE@NTNU – Community of Practice for Computer Science Education at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology – is an informal forum for lecturers in computer science and related fields across campuses and departments.
+
+The current repository provides a LaTeX thesis template that should in principle be applicable for theses at all study levels – bachelor, master and PhD. It is closely based on the standard LaTeX report document class with added packages and customisations. The purpose of the document provided in `thesis.tex` is threefold. It should serve (i) as a description of the document class, (ii) as an example of how to use it, and (iii) as a thesis template.
+
+The template does not have any official status, and it is not a general NTNU-level requirement to use it. It replaces previous templates like https://github.com/COPCSE-NTNU/bachelor-thesis-NTNU and https://github.com/COPCSE-NTNU/master-theses-NTNU.
 
 ## Setting up
 
 You can use the template with [Overleaf](http://overleaf.com), and you are strongly encouraged to do so. The alternative is to install local copy of LaTeX on your laptop (not adviced, huge, difficult).
 
-You should **fork** the COPCSE repo so that you have your own files to edit and you can always merge with the upstream changes to the template, in case the template is updated.

 ### Setup using Overleaf
 
 There are two ways for setting up the [**Overleaf**](http://overleaf.com) project with the template:
 
 * Use the `.zip` copy and upload.
-* Fork the the COPCSE repo so that you have your own files to edit.
+* Fork the the CoPCSE repo so that you have your own files to edit.
