+Getting Help
+============
+
+There are two primary ways of getting help. We have a `mailing list`_ hosted at
+Google (http://groups.google.com/group/django-tastypie/) and an IRC channel
+(`#tastypie on irc.freenode.net`_) to get help, want to bounce idea or
+generally shoot the breeze.
+
+.. _`mailing list`: http://groups.google.com/group/django-tastypie/
+.. _#tastypie on irc.freenode.net: irc://irc.freenode.net/tastypie
+
+
+Quick Start
+===========
+
+1. Add ``tastypie`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS``.
+2. Create an ``api`` directory in your app with a bare ``__init__.py``.
+3. Create an ``<my_app>/api/resources.py`` file and place the following in it::
+
+    from tastypie.resources import ModelResource
+    from my_app.models import MyModel
+    
+    
+    class MyModelResource(ModelResource):
+        class Meta:
+            queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
+            allowed_methods = ['get']
+
+4. In your root URLconf, add the following code (around where the admin code might be)::
+    
+    from tastypie.api import API
+    from my_app.api.resources import MyModelResource
+    
+    v1_api = Api(api_name='v1')
+    v1_api.register(MyModelResource())
+    
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+      # ...more URLconf bits here...
+      # Then add:
+      (r'^api/', include(v1_api.urls)),
+    )
+
+5. Hit http://localhost:8000/api/v1/?format=json in your browser!
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+Tastypie requires the following modules. If you use Pip_, you can install
+the necessary bits via the included ``requirements.txt``:
+
+* Python 2.4+
+* Django 1.0+
+* mimeparse 0.1.3+ (http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/)
+
+  * Older versions will work, but their behavior on JSON/JSONP is a touch wonky.
+
+* dateutil (http://labix.org/python-dateutil)
+* lxml (http://codespeak.net/lxml/) if using the XML serializer
+* pyyaml (http://pyyaml.org/) if using the YAML serializer
+
+If you choose to use Python 2.4, be warned that you will also need to grab the
+following modules:
+
+* uuid (present in 2.5+, downloadable from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/uuid/) if using the ``ApiKey`` authentication
+
+.. _Pip: http://pip.openplans.org/
