+======================================
+=== XML-RPC INFO                    ==
+======================================
+
+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]>
+
