-= Prototype
-==== An object-oriented JavaScript framework
-
-(c) 2005 Sam Stephenson (mailto:sam@conio.net)
-
-Prototype is a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic
-web applications. Its development is driven heavily by the Ruby on Rails
-framework, but it can be used in any environment.
-
-=== Targeted platforms
-
-Prototype currently targets the following platforms:
-
-* Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher
-* Mozilla Firefox 1.0/Mozilla 1.7 and higher
-* Apple Safari 1.2 and higher
-
-== Using Prototype
-
-To use Prototype in your application, download the latest release from the
-Prototype web site (http://prototype.conio.net/) and copy
-<tt>dist/prototype.js</tt> to a suitable location. Then include it in your HTML
-like so:
-
- <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/prototype.js"></script>
-
-=== Building Prototype from source
-
-<tt>prototype.js</tt> is a composite file generated from many source files in
-the <tt>src/</tt> directory. To build Prototype, you'll need:
-
-* a copy of the Prototype source tree, either from a distribution tarball or
- from the darcs repository (see below)
-* Ruby 1.8.2 or higher (http://www.ruby-lang.org/)
-* Rake -- Ruby Make (http://rake.rubyforge.org/)
-* RDoc, if your Ruby distribution does not include it
-* darcs 1.0.1 or higher (http://abridgegame.org/darcs/; static binaries
- available at http://www.scannedinavian.org/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries)
-
-From the root Prototype directory,
-
-* <tt>rake dist</tt> will preprocess the Prototype source using ERB and
- generate the composite <tt>dist/prototype.js</tt>.
-* <tt>rake package</tt> will create a distribution tarball in the
- <tt>pkg/</tt> directory.
-
-== Contributing to Prototype
-
-You'll need the tools mentioned above. Modify the files in <tt>src/</tt>, add
-tests in <tt>test/</tt> if possible, generate a new dist file, and record the
-changes with <tt>darcs record -al</tt>. Then email patches to
-mailto:sam@conio.net using <tt>darcs send</tt>.
-
-== Documentation
-
-Prototype is embarrassingly lacking in documentation. (The source code should
-be fairly easy to comprehend; I'm committed to using a clean style with
-meaningful identifiers. But I know that only goes so far.)
-
-Much of the problem is that there is no easy way to document it from within the
-source code itself. I've tried JSDoc[http://jsdoc.sf.net/] and a Perl script
-included with JsUnit[http://www.edwardh.com/jsunit/]; neither groks Prototype's
-hash-style class definitions or inheritance scheme. Making them work would
-require major changes, and I don't have the time for that right now.
