+FuseJS
+======
+
+About Alpha
+-----------
+
+FuseJS is currently in alpha.
+This means we are feature/API incomplete and buggy.
+This release is not intended for production use.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Most popular JavaScript frameworks share similar features and functionality 
+such as DOM manipulation, event registration, and CSS selector engines. FuseJS 
+attempts to incorporate the strengths of these frameworks into one stable, 
+efficient, and optimized core JavaScript framework. 
+
+FuseJS is the first JavaScript framework to use cross-browser/environment sandboxed 
+natives. This allows FuseJS to extend Array, String, Number, Date, and 
+RegExp object prototypes without polluting the native objects of the host environment.
+
+FuseJS emphasizes browser capability testing, method forking, and lazy method 
+definitions for maintainability and performance. FuseJS also adheres to 
+ECMA 2.62 (*5th edition*) specifications. FuseJS is designed to eventually allow customized builds, including one of seven supported CSS selector engines. FuseJS is released under the MIT license and will have in-line documentation/minification support.
+
+FuseJS will be able emulate other frameworks<sup><a name="fnref1" href="#fn1">1</a></sup> by creating a shell of the target framework
+and mapping all API calls to FuseJS's core. As more frameworks are emulated FuseJS
+will gain bug fixes and features which are shared between all emulated frameworks.
+Because of FuseJS's optimized core each emulated framework should, as a whole, perform
+better than their official counterpart. In most cases a developer could simply replace a
+supported client-side framework with FuseJS + emulation layer and receive instant
+performance and stability gains while continuing to use the framework API they are
+familiar with.
+
+Targeted platforms
+------------------
+
+FuseJS currently targets the following platforms:
+
+* Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher
+* Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and higher
+* Apple Safari 2.0.0 and higher
+* Google Chrome 1.0 and higher
+* Opera 9.25 and higher
+
+Building FuseJS from source
+---------------------------
+
+`fuse.js` is a composite file generated from many source files in 
+the `src/` directory. To build FuseJS, you'll need:
+
+* a copy of the FuseJS source tree from the Git repository (see below)
+* Ruby 1.8.2 or higher ([http://www.ruby-lang.org/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/))
+* Rake -- Ruby Make ([http://rake.rubyforge.org/](http://rake.rubyforge.org/))
+* RDoc, if your Ruby distribution does not include it
+
+From the root FuseJS directory,
+
+* `rake dist` will preprocess the FuseJS source using ERB and 
+  generate the composite `dist/fuse.js`.
+
+Contributing to FuseJS
