-## Place Module in Load Order
-Add the name of your module file to `build.properties.d/00_default.properties`, where the order is defined in which modules are loaded.
+## Install the module
+
+The new new file should be placed in `src/core/js` if it is intended to be merged into the main repository eventually. For development purposes and for custom extensions which are not to be published you may place it in `src/ext/js`.

+Everything inside `src/core/js` and `src/ext/js` will eventually being loaded.
+So, if there are no other modules which depend on this particular new module,
+you are done.

+Otherwise, when we need to configure the order in which the
+module is being loaded.
+
+
+### Dependency order
+
+#### For Upstream Code
+
+For modules which are about to be merged into the main or dev branch of this
+repository, add the module's file to `build.properties.d/00_default.properties`
+at the right location in the list of module files (Array
+`MODULE_DEPENDENCIES`). The list defines the order in which module files are
+being loaded.
 
-## Add to index.html in test
-If you have unittests (and you should), you need to add a line in :
-`test/core/index.html`.
+#### For Custom Extensions
 
-## Dependency order
-Add the module to `build.properties.d/00_default.properties` at the right 
-location in the list of modules. The list defines the order in which modules are
-loaded
+For modules which will not be published and merged with the main repository you
+may append all your module files in the desired order to the
+`MODULE_DEPENDENCIES` array in a new `*.properties` file (e.g.
+`build.properties.d/99_local_stuff`):
