+= Alerts
+
+Easily build timelines, much like GitHub's news feed.
+
+== Usage
+
+Alerts requires you to have a Alert model. 
+The simplest way is to use the generator.
+
+  $ script/generate alerts && rake db:migrate
+        exists  db/migrate
+        create  db/migrate/20090333222034_create_alerts.rb
+        create  app/models/alert.rb
+  # Migration blabber...
+
+Next step is to determine what generates an event in your various models.
+
+  class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
+    #...
+    belongs_to :author, :class_name => 'Person'
+    fires :new_post, :on    => :create,
+                     :actor => :author
+  end
+
+You can add 'fires' statements to as many models as you want on as many models
+as you want. 
+
+They are hooked for you after standard ActiveRecord events. In
+the previous example, it's an after_create on Posts. 
+
+=== Parameters for #fires
+
+You can supply a few parameters to fires, two of them are mandatory.
+- the first param is a custom name for the event type. It'll be your way of figuring out what events your reading back from the alerts table later.
+  - :new_post in the example
+
+The rest all fit neatly in an options hash.
+
+- :on => [ActiveRecord event] 
+  - mandatory. You use it to specify whether you want the event created after a create, update or destroy. You can also supply an array of events, e.g. [:create, :update].
+- :actor is your way of specifying who took this action.
+  - In the example, post.author is going to be this person.
+- :subject is automatically set to self, which is good most of the time.  You can however override it if you need to, using :subject.
+- :secondary_subject can let you specify something else that's related to the event. A comment to a blog post would be a good example.
+- :if => symbol or proc/lambda lets you put conditions on when a Alert is created. It's passed right to the after_xxx ActiveRecord event hook, so it's has the same behavior.
+
+Here's another example:
+
+  class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
+    #...
+    belongs_to :commenter, :class_name => 'Person'
+    belongs_to :post
+    fires :new_comment, :on                 => :create,
+                        :actor              => :commenter,
+                        #implicit :subject  => self,
+                        :secondary_subject  => 'post',
+                        :if => lambda { |comment| comment.commenter != comment.post.author }
+  end
+
+=== Alert instantiation
+
+The ActiveRecord event hook will automatically instantiate a 
+Alert instance for you.
+It will receive the following parameters in #create!
+
+- event_type 
+  - "new_comment" in the comment example
+- actor 
+  - the commenter
+- subject
+  - the comment instance
+- secondary_subject
+  - the post instance
+
+The generated model stores most of its info as polymorphic relationships.
+
+  class Alert < ActiveRecord::Base
+    belongs_to :actor,              :polymorphic => true
+    belongs_to :subject,            :polymorphic => true
+    belongs_to :secondary_subject,  :polymorphic => true
+  end
+
+== How you actually get your timeline
+
+To get your timeline you'll probably have to create your own finder SQL or scopes 
+(if your situation is extremely simple). 
+
+Alerts is not currently providing anything to generate your timeline because 
+different situations will have wildly different requirements. Like access control 
+issues and actually just what crazy stuff you're cramming in that timeline.
+
+We're not saying it can't be done, just that we haven't done it yet. 
+Contributions are welcome :-)
