+= Exiv2
+
+A simple wrapper around the C++ Exiv2 libary for reading image metadata.
+
+See http://www.exiv2.org/
+
+== Usage
+
+    gem install exiv2
+
+    require 'exiv2'
+    image = Exiv2::ImageFactory.open("image.jpg")
+    image.read_metadata
+    puts image.exif_data.inspect
+    puts image.iptc_data.inspect
+
+== Why?
+
+None of the existing Ruby libraries for reading image metadata did quite what
+we wanted, so we figured it wouldn't be too hard to wrap enough of Exiv2 to
+meet our needs.
+
+The intention is to just mirror the Exiv2 API in Ruby, so the path to extending
+this to support more of Exiv2's functionality should be straightforward. Patches
+are welcome.
+
+== Compatibility
+
+Tested with Ruby 1.8.7 and Exiv2 0.21.
+
+== Developing
+
+* 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.
+
+== Status
+
+In early development. Very little of Exiv2's API is supported, and it hasn't
+been heavily tested.
