 This document explains how to connect to the Testnet of a [Cosmos-SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/) based blockchain. It can be used to connect to the latest Testnet for the Cosmos Hub.
 
+NOTE: We are aware this documentation is sub-par and are actively working to
+improve both the tooling and the documentation to make this as painless as
+possible. In the meantime, join the
+[chat](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#cosmos_validators:matrix.org) for technical support. Thanks very
+much for your patience :)

 ## Software Setup (Manual Installation)
 
 Follow these instructions to install the Cosmos-SDK and connect to the latest Testnet. This instructions work for both a local machine and a VM in a cloud server.

-Clone the testnet repo.
+Copy the testnet initialization files to a new data directory:
 
 ```
-git clone https://github.com/cosmos/testnets

 The last step is the adjust the `config.toml`. Make sure that you are connected to healthy peers or seed nodes.
 These are some seeds nodes and they can be put into the config under the `seeds` key. Alternatively you can also
 ask user validators directly for a persistent peer and add it under the `persisent_peers` key.
