+Setting Up A New Project
+========================
+
+from start to editing code
+
+0. Install virtualenv [Optional but highly recommended]::
+
+ easy_install virtualenv
+
+1. Make a virtualenv::
+
+ virtualenv myproject
+
+2. Install genshi_view::
+
+ cd myproject
+ . bin/activate
+ mkdir src
+ cd src
+ hg clone http://k0s.org/hg/genshi_view # or `easy_install genshi_view`
+ cd genshi_view
+ python setup.py develop
+ cd ..
+
+3. Instantitate a template.  genshi_view is a pastescript template
+that will get you a hello world application OOTB::
+
+ paster create -t genshi_view your_project_name
+
+Answer the questions it asks you regarding the template variables.
+
+4. Serve your application to see that it works::
+
+ cd your_project_name
+ paster serve your_project_name.ini
+
+Navigate to the URL that paster displays
+
+5. You're done!  Helloworld works.  Now you just have to edit the
+source code:
+
+ - templates are in your_project_name/templates; there is one by default
+ - static resources are in your_project_name/static
+ - the request dispatcher is at your_project_name/dispatcher
+ - the request handlers are at your_project_name/handlers;  if you add
+   more, don't forget to add them to dipatcher.py's imports and to
+   self.handlers in Dispatcher's __init__ function
+
