 The best way to get Selectricity is just to download it from our source
-source repository. You'll need the Git version control system or
-source control manager to check it. You can get it here:
+tree.  At the moment, we're hosting our code at Gitorious which is a
+free software hosting provider. You can download Gitorious at the
+project page by following detailed instructions at Gitorious:
 
-  http://git-scm.com/
+  http://gitorious.org/selectricity
 
-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

-"live." Once you cloned the repository above, you can switch into the

-======================================

-The XML-RPC API is still under development, but is somewhat functional already:
-
-To instantiate a client in Ruby, try something like:
-client=ActionWebService::Client::XmlRpc.new(SelectricityAPI,"http://localhost:3000/selectricity_service/vote")
-
-
-Getting the results of a quickvote is quite simple:
-?> client.get_quickvote_results("test")
-=> #<VoteResultStruct:0x336f92c @approval_winners=[1, 2], @borda_winners=[1], @plurality_winners=[1], @ssd_winners=[1], @errors=[], @condorcet_winners=[1]>
-
-Casting a quickvote:
-client.cast_quickvote("test",1,[[1,2]])
-
-To figure out what you're voting for:
->> client.get_quickvote_candidate_map("test")=> #<CandidateMap:0x335bbc0 @errors=[], @candidate_names=["test", "test2"], @candidate_ids=[1, 2]>
