 river-container
 ===============
 
-Initial development on Apache River Container
+This project is the initial development of the Apache River Container.
+It is _not_ yet released as Apache Software.  Use at your own risk, and please
+post comments to dev@river.apache.org.
+
+The First Fifteen Minutes
+=========================
+
+Let's assume you've managed to download the source from git.  In fact, let's assume that
+you're reasonably conversant with git, so you can pull the examples project below.
+
+# Before You Start  
+You'll need Maven 3.x installed, such that you can run 'mvn' from the command
+line.  
+
+# Build From Source 
+
+<i>This step may not be required in the future, since you'll be able to 
+download a convenience binary once the project is released</i>
+
+Go to the root of the river-container download, and type  
+    mvn clean install
+
+# Run the default container profile  
+    cd product/target/product*
+    bin/run 
+
+The steps above will startup a default container that has instances of the 
+service registrar (Reggie) and the transaction manager (Mahalo).  All services
+are registered in a workgroup called 'RiverContainerDefault'.
+
+# Run the service browser  
+Open a new command line window in the root of the river-container download, then
+do the following  
+    cd product/target/product*
+    bin/run client browser
+
+You'll see a service browser window open up.  It should show one registrar.
+Select the registrar.  You should now see the infrastructure services, Reggie and 
+Mahalo.  Leave the service browser running while we start up a "Hello-world" 
+service, below.
+
+# Compile a "Hello-World" Service
+
+<i>Maybe the 'hello-world' example should be included in the container deliverable?
+Please comment on 'dev@river.apache.org'.</i>
+
+<i>Eventually, we should be able to create this example service using a Maven
+archetype.</i>
+
+Using git, pull the examples from https://github.com/trasukg/river-container-examples.
+
+'cd' into your hello-example' directory, and then  
+    mvn clean install
+
+# Deploy and run the "Hello-World" Service
+
+When Maven is done, you should be able to see the finished service archive,
+'hello-module/target/hello-module-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar'
+
+Copy that 'jar' file into the
+'profiles/default/deploy' folder inside our 'river-container/product/target/product*' folder.
+
+<i>Eventually, we'll have a maven plugin that does this, so you can just do 
+'mvn river:deploy' rather than copying it manually.</i>
+
+If you left the container running, you should see some output indicating that the 
+service is being deployed.  If you didn't leave the container running, start it up now.
+
+You should also see the service in the service browser, with the interface
+'org.apache.river.container.hello.example.api.Greeter'
+
+# Deploy and Run the "Hello-World" Consumer
+
+When Maven finished above, it also created a client archive, 
+'hello-client-module/target/hello-client-module-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar'
+
+Copy that 'jar' file into the
+'profiles/client/deploy' folder inside our 'river-container/product/target/product*' folder.
+
+Open a new command line window in the root of the river-container download, then
+do the following  
+    cd product/target/product*
+    bin/run client hello-client
+
+The client starts up, and eventually prompts 'Please enter your name'.  Enter
+your name and then press return.
+
+The client sends the greeter service a message, then prints out the reply.
+
+# Use the Network!
+
+If you have another machine on the local area network, and if the network is
+configured to allow multicast, you should be able to run the browser and the
+hello-client on a different machine.
+
+That concludes the 'First Fifteen Minutes' demo.  Below, there is a little more 
+detailed information...
