+Once you have it, getting the source code is pretty easy. You just need
+to check out a branch with a command like this:
+
+ git clone http://projects.mako.cc/source/selectricity/.git

+This will give you the latest *development* version of our code. If you
+want the latest production version (i.e., what we're running on the
