+=== Getting Selectricity ======================
+===============================================
+
+Selectricity is free software and is distributed under the MIT or
+BSD-like ExPat license. You are free to use, modify, and distribute, or
+rework Selectricity. 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
+source repository. You'll need the Bazaar version control system or
+source control manager to check it. You can get it here:
+
+  http://bazaar-vcs.org
+
+Once you have it, getting the source code is pretty easy. You just need
+to check out a branch with a command like this:
+
+  bzr branch http://projects.mako.cc/source/selectricity
+
+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
+site), you can grab that here:
+
+  bzr branch http://projects.mako.cc/source/selectricity-live

-jlsharps: I've added a user authentication system known as
-"acts_as_authenticated" to the code. The plugin is the the vendor/plugins 
-directory. The two most noticeable changes are the AccountController and a 
-redone User model. I've left the UserController in place for now, but the 
-AccountController works in a different manner, so am switching over to that 
-gradually. I saved the 5 lines or so in the old User model, overwrote 
-it with the authenticated generator and then recopied the old stuff back in: 
-has_many :elections and the name() method. The generator also creates its own 
-migration file, but since we are using a create.sql file I adopted the 
-migration file into a new users table in the create.sql file. I have yet to 
-delete the old table because I haven't fully combed through the code yet and 
-determined how many of the old attributes (such as first_name, last_name) may 
-need to be retained. 
-http://technoweenie.stikipad.com/plugins/show/Acts+as+Authenticated is the 
-best site for documentation regarding acts_as_authenticaed. Also, currently
-it only stores the user_id in the session, but i just found a guide to help 
-me make it store the entire user object, so I'll do that while my battery 
-charges.

-Handy trick: use the command 'gem_server' from a shell to create a server at 
-http://localhost:8008 that is an easy to navigate locally-hosted website with 
-all the documentation on local gems you have in a easy to read format.
-
-jlsharps: I added the Gruff plug-in today, which is viewable under the folder
-vender/plugins/gruff.  I installed it directly using the Gruff plug-in and
-included controller generate utility. The version 0.1.2, which doesn't seem to
-be the latest version. I've looked into it and it see and it seems that the
-latest version is 0.2.8. However, I wasn't sure how including a gem w/o a plugin 
-would function in end-game rails so I just what I used for now. If you guys 
-(mako of john) know how to do it, it'd probably be better to upgrade, but it 
-didn't seem like the best use of my time right now.  I got the plug-in here:
-http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/gruff. You can get the gruff gem v 0.2.8 by 
-typing "sudo gem install gruff", I believe it's also hosted on RubyForge. 
-
-I created the GraphsController for Gruff methods to use. In Pollarize I put them 
-in the ApplicationContorller file, so they would be accessible to all. While 
-that it also an option here, it would also mean there wouldn't be much room for 
-playing around because everything in the Application file has to be perfect or 
-it seems to throw Error Code 500 (basically everything breaks). The show() 
-is a sample sample provided with Gruff. 
-
-Documentation is here:http://gruff.rubyforge.org/  Alternately, if you have the 
-gem installed, you can use the ri command, or the above mentioned gem_server. 
-
-If you guys want more helpful stuff here, let me know.
