+7. Set up the patchwork cron script
+
+    Patchwork uses a cron script to clean up expired registrations, and
+    send notifications of patch changes (for projects with this enabled).
+
+    Something like this in your crontab should work:
+
+      # m h  dom mon dow   command
+      PYTHONPATH=apps:.
+      DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
+      */10 * * * * cd patchwork; python apps/patchwork/bin/patchwork-cron.py
+
+
+    - the frequency should be the same as the NOTIFICATION_DELAY_MINUTES
+    setting, which defaults to 10 minutes.
+
+8. Optional: Configure your VCS to automatically update patches
+
+    The tools directory of the patchwork distribution contains a file
+    named post-receive.hook which is an example git hook that can be
+    used to automatically update patches to the Accepted state when
+    corresponding comits are pushed via git.
+
+    To install this hook, simply copy it to the .git/hooks directory on
+    your server, name it post-receive, and make it executable.
+
+    This sample hook has support to update patches to different states
+    depending on which branch is being pushed to. See the STATE_MAP
+    setting in that file.
+
+    If you are using a system other than git, you can likely write a
+    similar hook using pwclient to update patch state. If you do write
+    one, please contribute it.
