+This bot provides a two-step-registration for matrix.
+
+This is done in several steps:
+- potential new user registers on a bot-provided side
+- bot sends a message to prefined room with a registration notification.
+- users in that room now can approve or decline the registration.
+- The bot then uses the registration token to register the user or just drops the registration request.
