+This directory contains a sample custom service that you can use as a template
+for creating your own services.
+
+Follow these steps to add your own services:
+
+1. Modify the sample service MyService to do what you want. It could generate
+   config/script files, mount per-node directories, start processes/scripts,
+   etc. sample.py is a Python file that defines one or more classes to be
+   imported. You can create multiple Python files that will be imported.
+   Add any new filenames to the __init__.py file.
+
+2. Put these files in a directory such as /home/username/.core/myservices
+   Note that the last component of this directory name 'myservices' should not
+   be named something like 'services' which conflicts with an existing Python
+   name (the syntax 'from myservices import *' is used).
+
+3. Add a 'custom_services_dir = /home/username/.core/myservices' entry to the
+   /etc/core/core.conf file.
+
+4. Restart the CORE daemon (core-daemon). Any import errors (Python syntax)
+   should be displayed in the /var/log/core-daemon.log log file (or on screen).
+
+5. Start using your custom service on your nodes. You can create a new node
+   type that uses your service, or change the default services for an existing
+   node type, or change individual nodes.
