+==================== 1 minute howto
+
+* REQUIREMENTS is to have python + django installed django
+** should be straightforward
+** see devel/django-install.txt in case of trouble
+
+* git clone git://git.onelab.eu/myslice.git
+-- or --
+* git clone ssh://yourlogin@git.onelab.eu/git/myslice.git
+
+* edit myslice/config.py and enter the details of your manifold backend
+
+* init django
+$ manage.py syncdb
+
+* gather static files
+$ ./manage.py collectstatic (formerly, we used make static, which is deprecated)
+-- or --
+$ ./manage.py collectstatic --noinput
+
+* run a local server:
+$ manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
+-- or -- my advice:
+$ devel/server-loop.sh
+when you just need to hit ^C yourself when your static files need to be refreshed - see below
+
+* use it from your browser
+(See more notes on using the development server below)
+
+* install dependencies
+$ pip install -r path/to/requirements/file.txt
+Note. not quite sure what this is about, I could not spot this file..
+
+==================== Status
+
+*** Authentication ***
+
+Should be mostly fine
+Not quite sure if/how the user gets proper notifications when
+. his session has expired (i.e. his frontend is not logged into the backend any longer)
+. his credentials have expired (i.e. the uploaded credentials, e.g. SFA delegated cred)
+ expired and she needs to run e.g. sfi myslice again
+
+Hard-coded accounts (from a very early stage) are gone
+
+
+*** Packaging ***
+
+I've done a very rough attempt at packaging for rpm.
+The logic seems about right but needs more work, in particular in terms of installing myslice.conf
+in the httpd conf.d directory.
+It seems like our app won't work on f14 as is because Django is only 1.3.1 on f14
+Plan is to target f18 but I lack a test machine.
+Also of course I'll try to tackle debian/ubunti at some point.
