+= ActiveRecordBaseWithoutTable
+
+Get the power of ActiveRecord models, including validation, without having a table in the database.
+This plugin now works with Rails 2.2.2.
+
+== Installation
+
+=== Gem
+
+  Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
+    # ...
+    config.gem 'splattael-activerecord_base_without_table', :lib    => 'activerecord_base_without_table',
+                                                            :source => 'http://gems.github.com'
+
+    # ...
+  end
+
+=== Rails plugin
+
+  script/plugin install git://github.com/splattael/activerecord_base_without_table.git
+
+== Usage
+
+  class Contact < ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable
+    column :name, :string
+    column :email_address, :string
+    column :message, :text
+    
+    validates_presence_of :name, :email_address, :string
+  end
+
+This model can be used just like a regular model based on a table, except it will never be saved to the database.
+
+== Bugs & more
+
+Please fork this repository send me push requests :)
+
+== Authors:
+
+ * Jonathan Viney (initial version)
+ * Peter Abrahamsen (serialization & inheritance)
+ * Peter Suschlik (patch for Rails 2.2.2)
+
+== Changelog
