+------------------
+Getting OpenLayers
+------------------
+
+OpenLayers lives at http://www.openlayers.org/.
+
+You can get OpenLayers from
+    http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToDownload.
+
+---------------------
+Installing OpenLayers
+---------------------
+
+You can use OpenLayers as-is by copying build/OpenLayers.js and the
+entire lib/ directory up to your webserver, putting them in the same
+directory. To include the OpenLayers library in your web page, use:
+
+  <script type="text/javascript" src="OpenLayers.js" />
+
+If you want to use the multiple-file version of OpenLayers (for, say,
+debugging or development purposes), copy the lib/ directory up to your
+webserver in the same directory you put the img/ folder. Then add
+the following to your web page instead:
+
+  <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/OpenLayers.js" />
+
+------------------------------------
+Using OpenLayers in Your Own Website
+------------------------------------
+
+The examples/ directory is full of useful examples.
+
+There is some documentation at http://trac.openlayers.org/ as well.
