+elasticsearch plugins which don't contain any Java files are identified as “site” plugins,
+and their content is served as static files.
 
-Install “from source”
----------------------
+This makes it easy to create small, self-contained HTML applications for elasticsearch, just like this one.
 
-    cd /tmp
-    mkdir -p /tmp/hello-elasticsearch
-
-    curl -# -L -k https://gist.github.com/gists/dc733632435da2149963/download | tar xv --strip=1 -C /tmp/hello-elasticsearch
-    zip -mj hello-elasticsearch.zip /tmp/hello-elasticsearch/*
+Install
+-------
 
-    plugin -install hello-elasticsearch -url file:///tmp/hello-elasticsearch.zip
+You can either simply copy the `index.html` file to `$ES_HOME/plugins/hello-elasticsearch/_site` directory,
+or use the `plugin` script included with elasticsearch installation:
 
-    open http://localhost:9200/_plugin/hello-elasticsearch/index.html
+    plugin -install hello-elasticsearch -url https://raw.github.com/gist/3381710/hello-elasticsearch.zip
 
-Done.
+The application will be available at <http://localhost:9200/_plugin/hello-elasticsearch/index.html>.

+World's Smallest Application Hosted in elasticsearch
+====================================================
+
+> Plugins can have “sites” in them, any plugin that exists under the plugins directory with a `_site` directory,
+> its content will be statically served when hitting `/_plugin/[plugin_name]/` url.
+> Those can be added even after the process has started.
