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:
+The best way to get Selectricity is just to download it from our
+source repository. You'll need the Git version control system or
+source control manager to check it. You can get it here:
- http://gitorious.org/selectricity
+ http://git-scm.com/
+
+Once you have it, getting the source code is pretty easy. You just need
+to check out a branch with a command like this:
+
+ git clone http://projects.mako.cc/source/selectricity/.git
+
+By default, this will create a working copy with the latest
+*development* version of our code. If you want the latest production
+version (i.e., what we're running on the site), you need to switch to
+the live version of the software which is kept in a branch called
+"live." Once you cloned the repository above, you can switch into the
+directory (i.e., run "cd selectricity") and then run the following
+command:
+
+ git checkout -b live origin/live

=== Dependencies ==============================
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.
