+Jenkins Plugin: Triggering User
+==============================
+
+This is a plugin for [Jenkins][http://jenkins-ci.org] Continuous Integration Server.  This plugin populated the `$TRIGGERING_USER` environment variable with a best guess for the user who triggered the current build.
+
+Installation
+---------------------------
+
+Install Maven 2.2.1 or higher
+
+    cd ~/jenkins-triggering-user
+    mvn package && mvn install
+    scp target/triggering-user-plugin.hpi user@jenkins.server:/opt/jenkins/.jenkins/plugins/.
+
+The last part is to place the `hpi` file into the plugins directory.  You can also do this through the Jenkins interface if you do not have `ssh` access to the Jenkins server.
