 # sqew (pronounced "skew")
 
-sqew is a lightweight background processor. You start a single process that will act as a queue manager and will work multiple jobs concurrently. sqew is short for "small queue" and is not meant to be an all-in-one scalable solution. sqew adopts a similiar API to make migrating to other background processors easy.

 ## When would sqew be a good fit for my project?
 
 * You don't need to split workers across multiple machines.
 * You don't want to manage multiple background worker processes, but you do want multiple jobs to run concurrently.
+* You don't want to manage an external service like Redis or Mongo to store the queue.
 * You don't want to worry about threading issues.
-* You don't want to worry about long running processes memory leaking.
+* You don't want to worry about long running processes leaking memory.
 * You don't care about the enqueueing or job forking performance.
 * You don't need multiple queues (this may change soon).
 
 If these don't fit the bill or you need more power, I recommend you try the great other great gems such as [Resque](https://github.com/defunkt/resque), [Sidekiq](https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq), and [Qu](https://github.com/bkeepers/qu).

+## Where does sqew store its data?
+
+Sqew doesn't use redis or your rails database. It uses [LevelDB](http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/) to manage its persistence. So you don't have to manage/setup anything.
+
+## Does it work on windows?
+
+No. It uses [forking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(operating_system\)) heavily.
 
 ## TODO Soon
 
 * Reusable God/Bluepil/Monit config for managing the worker
+* Capistrano plugin for restarting the worker on deploy
 * Javascript browser front-end for the manager
 * Multiple queues with weight (possibly)
