+=== Getting Selectricity ======================
+===============================================
+
+Selectricity is free software and is distributed under the GNU Affero
+General Public License version 3. You are free to use, modify, and
+distribute, or rework Selectricity under the terms of that license. Of
+course, we'd sure like it if you would send fixes back to us and tell us
+about cool stuff you do with our software!
+
+The best way to get Selectricity is just to download it from our source
+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:

+=== Dependencies ==============================
+===============================================
+
+To use Selectricity, you'll need to install the following gems in
+addition to Ruby on Rails (gem:rails), MySQL (gem:mysql), and its
+dependencies:
+
+ * rmagick
+ * gruff (http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff)
+ * sparklines (http://nubyonrails.com/pages/sparklines)
+
+To use Selectricity in development mode, you'll need to install the
+following gems:
+
+ * ruby-debug
+
+Also, you will need install the other applications installed first:
+
+ * imagemagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/)
+
+On Ubuntu, you can install install the dependencies with:
+ apt-get install imagemagick libmagick9-dev ruby1.8-dev libwmf-bin rdoc \
+ libopenssl-ruby1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 libmysqlclient15-dev
+
+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.
