+=================
+
+Django app for creating a site with multiple areas to brainstorm ideas.

+Requirements
+============
+
+python >= 2.4
+django >= 1.0
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+1. Add 'brainstorm' to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting.
+2. Add a reference to ``brainstorm.urls`` somewhere in your urls.py::
+
+   (r'^', include('brainstorm.urls')),  # something that looks like this
+
+3. Login to the django admin and create a subsite.
+
+A subsite has a slug, name, description, theme, and a number of other options.  The important two are theme and slug, slug dictates where the subsite will live and theme specifies the name of a theme template (see `Creating Themes`_ for details)
