+Create New for Rails
+=======================
+
+This Rails plugin makes a `create_new` method available in `ApplicationController` which
+
+* takes the name of an ActiveRecord model and
+* sets an appropriately named instance variable in the controller
+* with a new instance of the model
+* initialized with the attributes in `params` corresponding to the model name.
+
+Full documentation is at [RubyDoc.info](http://rubydoc.info/gems/create-new).
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following
+
+    class UserController < ApplicationController
+      def create
+        create_new(:user)
+      end
+    end
+
+is the equivalent of
+
+    class UserController < ApplicationController
+      def create
+        @user = User.new(params[:user])
+      end
+    end
+
