+Under development
+
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+You'll need coffeescript, you can hopefully get that with a command such as
+this:
+
+       apt-get install coffeescript
+
+or
+
+       npm install -g coffee-script
+
+Then run ``make``
+
+Then run the test suite by opening ``index.html`` in a modern browser.
