 # README
+
+Rlint is a linter and static code analysis tool for Ruby inspired by similar
+tools such as JSHint. It makes it possible for developers to detect errors such
+as undeclared (or unused) variables and the use of non existing constants.
+
+Currently Rlint is in a very, very early stage of development. There's nothing
+more than a half assed parser using Ripper and it will take a while for it to
+truly become a proper linter.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Ruby 1.9 or newer
+* Ripper (comes bundled with Ruby 1.9)
+
+## Installation
+
+Once the Gem has been registered and pushed to Rubygems you should be able to
+install it as following:
+
+    $ gem install rlint
