+
+== What is Rake
+
+Rake is a build tool similar to the make program in many ways. But
+instead of cryptic make recipes, Rake uses standard Ruby code to
+declare tasks and dependencies. You have the full power of a modern
+scripting language built right into your build tool.
+
+== Availability
+
+The easiest way to get and install rake is via RubyGems ...
+
+  gem install rake    (you may need root/admin privileges)
+
+Otherwise, you can get it from the more traditional places:
+
+Home Page:: http://rake.rubyforge.org/
+Download::  http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50
+GitHub::    git://github.com/jimweirich/rake.git 
+
+== Task Argument Examples
+
+Prior to version 0.8.0, rake was only able to handle command line
+arguments of the form NAME=VALUE that were passed into Rake via the
+ENV hash.  Many folks had asked for some kind of simple command line
+arguments, perhaps using "--" to separate regular task names from
+argument values on the command line.  The problem is that there was no
+easy way to associate positional arguments on the command line with
+different tasks.  Suppose both tasks :a and :b expect a command line
+argument: does the first value go with :a?  What if :b is run first?
+Should it then get the first command line argument.
+
+Rake 0.8.0 solves this problem by explicitly passing values directly
+to the tasks that need them.  For example, if I had a release task
+that required a version number, I could say:
+
+   rake release[0.8.4]
+
+And the string "0.8.4" will be passed to the :release task.  Multiple
+arguments can be passed by separating them with a comma, for example:
+
+   rake name[john,doe]
+
+Just a few words of caution.  The rake task name and its arguments
+need to be a single command line argument to rake.  This generally
+means no spaces.  If spaces are needed, then the entire rake +
+argument string should be quoted.  Something like this:
+
+   rake "name[billy bob, smith]"
+
+(Quoting rules vary between operating systems and shells, so make sure
+you consult the proper docs for your OS/shell).
+
+=== Tasks that Expect Parameters
+
+Parameters are only given to tasks that are setup to expect them.  In
+order to handle named parameters, the task declaration syntax for
+tasks has been extended slightly.
+
+For example, a task that needs a first name and last name might be
+declared as:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name
+
+The first argument is still the name of the task (:name in this case).
+The next to argumements are the names of the parameters expected by
+:name (:first_name and :last_name in the example).
+
+To access the values of the paramters, the block defining the task
+behaviour can now accept a second parameter:
+
+   task :name, :first_name, :last_name do |t, args|
+     puts "First name is #{args.first_name}"
+     puts "Last  name is #{args.last_name}"
+   end
+
+The first argument of the block "t" is always bound to the current
+task object.  The second argument "args" is an open-struct like object
+that allows access to the task arguments.  Extra command line
+arguments to a task are ignored.  Missing command line arguments are
+given the nil value.
+
+== Thanks
+
+As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes. The
+following people either contributed patches, made suggestions or made
+otherwise helpful comments.  Thanks to ...
