README
isodata
========

Plugin for creating Country and Language models and populating them with the relevant ISO data.


Install
=======

script/plugin install git://github.com/cameronyule/isodata.git


Usage
=====

For countries;

script/generate countries
rake db:migrate
rake isodata:db:countries

For languages;

script/generate languages
rake db:migrate
rake isodata:db:languages

After using the generators, you can safely delete the plugin.


Caveats
=======

The language data that comes with this generator doesn't include macrolanguages. These are generally dialects
of a specific language or very closely related languages.

More information and a complete list of macrolanguages can be found on wikipedia.
