+marionette-amd-rails
+====================
+
+[![Dependency Status](https://gemnasium.com/eploko/marionette-amd-rails.png)](https://gemnasium.com/eploko/marionette-amd-rails)
+
+This gem is a wrapper for the AMD version of Derick Bailey's [Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) library. It vendors the javascript library code for use with Rails' asset pipeline (Rails 3.1+).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+[Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) depends on Backbone (and Backbone's dependencies). These dependencies are not currently managed by the `marionette-rails` gem directly, because there exists multiple options to use Backbone with the Rails asset pipeline, such as [`backbone-on-rails`](https://github.com/meleyal/backbone-on-rails), [`backbone-rails`](https://github.com/aflatter/backbone-rails), [`rails-backbone`](https://github.com/codebrew/backbone-rails), just to name a few.
+
+## Usage
+
+Add it to your Gemfile:
+
+    group :assets do
+      # Your other asset gems (sass-rails, coffee-rails, etc)
+      
+      gem 'marionette-amd-rails'
+    end
+
+Load `backbone.marionette` module as a dependency when appropriate.
+
+## Versioning
+
+The gem will mirror the [Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) versioning scheme. That is, version 0.8.2.* of `marionette-amd-rails` would vendor [Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) v0.8.2.
+
+## Contributing
+
+For bugs in [Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) itself, head over to their [issue tracker](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette/issues). If you have a question, post it at [StackOverflow under the `backbone.marionette` tag](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/backbone.marionette).
+
+For bugs in this gem distribution, use the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/eploko/marionette-amd-rails/issues). If you could submit a pull request - that's even better!
+
+## Donations
+
+If you're using Marionette and you're finding that it is saving you time and effort, then please consider donating to the upstream [Backbone.Marionette](https://github.com/derickbailey/backbone.marionette) project.
