 The official Apache Thrift libraries for Go are outdated and buggy. For now the active development happens in thrift4go:

 If you want to fork and do development on Gossie itself the main command you need to run is something like (from the root of the Gossie folder):
 
 ```
-# locally install inside a pkg folder the depedencies, ie the cassandra bindings
-GOPATH=$GOPATH:`pwd` go test -i gossie
-# actually build and run the gossie tests
 GOPATH=$GOPATH:`pwd` go test gossie
 ```

 When calling NewMapping() you can tag your struct fiels with `name`, `type` and `skip`. The `name` field tag will change the column name to its value when the field it appears on is (un)marhsaled to/from a Cassandra row column. The `type` field tag allows to override the default type Go<->Cassandra type mapping used by Gossie for the field it appears on. If `skip:"true"` is present the field will be ignored by Gossie.
 
-The tags `cf`, `key`, `cols` and `value` can be used in any field in the struct to document a mapping. `cf` is the column family name. `key` is the field name in the struct that stores the Cassandra row key value. `cols` is a list of struct fiels that build up the composite column name, if there is any. `value` is the field that stores the column value for compact storage rows.
+The tags `kind`, `cf`, `key`, `cols` and `value` can be used in any field in the struct to document a mapping. `kind` is optional and can have a value of `sparse` (the default) or `compact`. See [CQL3.0](http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/whats-new-in-cql-3-0) for more information. `cf` is the column family name. `key` is the field name in the struct that stores the Cassandra row key value. `cols` is optional and it is a list of struct fiels that build up the composite column name, if there is any. `value` is the field that stores the column value for compact storage rows, and it is ignored in sparse storage rows.
