-.. note:: Not all configuration options are required for all S3 servers. Overriding
-          the hostname, port and region of your S3 server is only required for
-          non-Amazon implementations, which in turn usually don't require the region to be set.
+Minimum required parameters are:
 
-.. note:: :code:`use_path_style` is usually not required (and is, in fact, incompatible
-          with newer Amazon datacenters), but can be used with non-Amazon servers
-          where the DNS infrastructure cannot be controlled. Ordinarily, requests
-          will be made with http://bucket.hostname.domain/, but with path style enabled,
-          requests are made with http://hostname.domain/bucket instead.
+* :code:`bucket`
+* :code:`key`
+* :code:`secret`
+
+.. note:: You will *probably* need to specify additional parameters beyond these, unless the default 
+          values (see below) exactly match your situation. In particular, your :code:`region` (if Amazon 
+	  hosted) or :code:`hostname` (if non-Amazon hosted).
+
+Optional parameters most commonly needing adjustment (and their defaults values if left 
+unconfigured):
+
+* :code:`region` defaults to :code:`eu-west-1`
+* :code:`storageClass` defaults to :code:`STANDARD`
+* :code:`hostname` defaults to :code:`s3.REGION.amazonaws.com`
+* :code:`use_ssl` defaults to :code:`true`
+
+Optional parameters sometimes needing adjustment:
+
+* :code:`use_path_style` defaults to :code:`false`
+* :code:`port` defaults to :code:`443`
+* :code:`sse_c_key` has no default
+
+Optional parameters less commonly needing adjustment:
+
+* :code:`proxy` defaults to :code:`false`
+* :code:`timeout` defaults to :code:`15`
+* :code:`uploadPartSize` defaults to :code:`524288000`
+* :code:`putSizeLimit` defaults to :code:`104857600`
+* :code:`legacy_auth` has no default
+* :code:`version` defaults to :code:`latest`
+* :code:`verify_bucket_exists` defaults to :code:`true`
+
+**If you are using Amazon S3:** the :code:`region` parameter is required unless you're happy with 
+the default of :code:`eu-west-1`. There is no need to override the :code:`hostname` or :code:`port`. 
+And :code:`storageClass` only needs to be modified if you're using a different configuration at AWS. 
+Lastly, :code:`use_path_style` is rarely required with Amazon, but some legacy Amazon datacenters 
+may require it.
+
+**If you using a non-Amazon hosted S3 store:** you will need to set the :code:`hostname` 
+parameter (and can ignore the :code:`region` parameter). You may need to use :code:`use_path_style` 
+if your non-Amazon S3 store does *not* support requests like :code:`https://bucket.hostname.domain/`.
+Setting :code:`use_path_style` to true configures the S3 client to make requests like 
+:code:`https://hostname.domain/bucket` instead.
