==============================

See

HACKING
=======

log in to your site (proably localhost:3000)

create a user and confirm it

you want to play with the API (probably at localhost:3000/api/0.4/node/create etc)

Lots of tests are needed to test the API.

Lots of little things to make the site work like the old one.

Also see the 'rails_port' component for bugs:
