+About
+=====
+This is an dojo interface to Yahoo's [YQL][yql].  It's heavily based on Dav Glass's
+[yui-yql][yui-yql].
+
+To use it:
+
+    dojo.yql.execute("SELECT * from friendfeed.feeds WHERE nickname = 'slackorama'",
+                { load: function( data ) {
+                           console.dir( data );
+                        },
+                  error: function( e ) {
+                           console.error( e );
+                        }
+                });
+
+                
+TODO:
+=====
+
+ *   Tests!
+ *   Documentation!
+ *   Profit!
