-Updating Perspectives is now easy: simply log in to https://addons.mozilla.org/ and upload a new version.
+Here are the steps to update Perspectives:
 
 
-After updating, remember to:
+1. Local changes
+
+- Commit, stash, or revert all of your in-progress changes
+- Build the new version
+- Run the in-browser tests (see the README for details)
+- Run the manual tests (see the tests/ directory)
+
+Once you're confident everything works:
+
+- Increment the version number in plugin/install.rdf
+- Add a tag in git for the new version, to make it easy to find if we ever need to republish, rebuild, or for people who build from source
+- Upload your changes to github
+- Create a pull request to bring your changes to the main branch
+
+
+2. Github
+
+Once the pull requst has been approved:
+
+- Add a tag in the official ('danwent') depo (if you're not a Perspectives maintainer, a maintainer will have to do this for you)
+- Close any github tickets/issues fixed by the current release (bonus points: add them to the correct Milestone before closing!)
+
+
+3. Mozilla
+
+- Log in to https://addons.mozilla.org/ and upload the new version
+
+
+4. Broadcast
+
+- Post to the Perspectives blog ( http://perspectives-project.org )
+- Send an email to the mailing list ( https://groups.google.com/group/perspectives-dev
 
-* Post to the Perspectives blog ( http://perspectives-project.org )
-* Send an email to perspectives-announce ( https://groups.google.com/group/perspectives-announce )
-* Close any Issues fixed in GitHub
-* Add a tag in git for the new version, to make it easy to find if we ever need to republish, or anyone wants to restore to that build.
