 Really simple JSON and XML parsing, ripped from Merb and Rails. The XML parser is ripped from Merb and the JSON parser is ripped from Rails. I take no credit, just packaged them for all to enjoy and easily use.
 
-= usage
+== note on releases
+
+Releases are tagged on github and also released as gems on github and rubyforge. Master is pushed to whenever I add a patch or a new feature. To build from master, you can clone the code, generate the updated gemspec, build the gem and install.
+
+* rake gemspec
+* gem build httparty.gemspec
+* gem install the gem that was built
+
+== note on patches/pull requests
+
+* Fork the project.
+* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
+* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
+* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
+* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
