+
+Description goes here.
+
+== 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 I can ignore when I pull)
+* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
