+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.

+=== 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]>
+
