README is not great for newbies (also there is no README)

For those new to Karaf, it might be mystical what exactly an exporter is.. It seems like dependency injection wiring.. I've actually found little details in karaf's docs saying precisely what they are. Help me be less stupid so I can help support the project!

Maybe we should rename them to service. Like KafkaSenderService, OkHttpSenderService. Exporter is not really a common term in karaf or OSGi in general. What the code does is to allow to configure the senders via OSGi config admin and export them as OSGi services so other OSGi components can pick them up. I can help creating readme files for documentation.
