 Our server configuration uses Mongrel (installed from gems) behind an
 Apache2 load balancing proxy using mod_proxy.
 
+You'll also need to have a MTA installed. We use Postfix and have not
+tried it with any other system. Presumably though, anything that
+provides '/usr/bin/sendmail' should work.

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

-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]>
