-### Create a Data Source
+Contributions are very welcome! For details on how to develop this plugin, see the
+[development guide](./DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md).
 
-To create a new data source, select `Data Sources` from the Configuration menu represented by the gear icon on the left
-panel. Click `Add Data Source`, and then select `Haystack` from the list. Next, fill in the name of the data source,
-the API URL, and the credentials to use to access the data. It is typically a good idea to create a dedicated user
-to access the data. Once complete, select `Save & Test`. If you get a green check mark, the connection was successful!
-
-### Query Data
-
-To query data from the data source, create a new panel in a dashboard. If you do not have any dashboards yet, create
-one by selecting `+ New Dashboard` from the Dashboard menu in the left panel.
-
-Once within the panel editor, select your Haystack data source in the Data Sources menu. Next, select the type of
-Haystack query that should be performed. The supported queries are:
-
-- Eval: Evaluate a free-form Axon expression. Grafana variables may be injected into the query, with the supported
-variables listed below. *Note: Not all Haystack servers support this functionality*
-- HisRead: Display the history of a single point over the selected time range.
-- Read: Display the records matching a filter. Since this is not timeseries data, it can only be viewed in Grafana's
-"Table" view.
-
-#### Variables
-
-Some queries support injecting values from the Grafana UI. The following variables are supported:
-
-- `$__timeRange_start`: DateTime start of the selected Grafana time range
-- `$__timeRange_end`: DateTime end of the selected Grafana time range
-- `$__maxDataPoints`: Number representing the pixel width of Grafana's display panel.
-- `$__interval`: Number representing Grafana's recommended data interval. This is the duration of the time range, 
-divided by the number of pixels, delivered in units of minutes.
-
-To use them, simply use the value in the input string like this:
-
-```
-[{ts: $__timeRange_start, v0: 0}, {ts: $__timeRange_end, v0: 10}].toGrid
-```
