[TYPO3-dev] What is settings in extension manager for?

[Rayuth You]

Hi

Thank so much for your explains. So the settings page is use for upload 
our extension into TER and Mirror is use for branch server of TER.

I just verify what I can understand, so please let me know if I am in 
wrong point.

Thanks,
Rayuth
