+Introduction
+------------
+
+GwtQuery is a jQuery-like API written in GWT, which allows GWT to be used in
+progressive enhancement scenarios where perhaps GWT widgets are too
+heavyweight. 
+
+Currently, only a part of the jQuery API is written. Most CSS3 selectors are 
+supported. People feel free to contribute patches to bring the API more in
+line with jQuery.
+
+This code is alpha, so expect it to break, and expect the API to change
+in the future.
+
+I would like the thank John Resig for writing jQuery, a kick ass library,
+that is a pleasure to use, and I hope to capture that feeling in GWT. Also,
+thanks to Robery Nyman for writing the fastest CSS Selector API
+implementation (DOMAssistant), which I used as a guide for the GWT
+impementation. GwtQuery is in large part, a port of DOMAssistant.
+
+I am releasing this under the MIT License in the spirit for Robert Nyman's
+choice, since the performance of this library wouldn't have been possible
+without him.
+
+Thanks,
