+= forkify
+
+* http://github.com/dakrone/forkify
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+  forkify.rb makes it easy to process a bunch of data using 'n'
+  worker processes. It is based off of forkoff and threadify by Ara Howard.
+  It aims to be safe to use on Ruby 1.8.6+ and Ruby 1.9.1+
+
+== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
+
+* forkify is _extremely_ beta quality currently.
+* NOTE: Hash forkifing returns a 2-dimensional array.
+* Spawn processes easily!
+
+== SYNOPSIS:
+
+  enumerable = %w( a b c d )
+  enumerable.forkify(2) { 'process this block using two worker processes' }
+  enumerable.forkify    { 'process this block using the default of 5 processes' }
+
+== REQUIREMENTS:
+
+* None
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+* sudo gem install forkify
+
