+autobot
+=======
+
+buildbot for the A*Team
+
+Using autobot
+
+Autobot may be installed using the Install script::
+
+ curl http://...
+
+This will create a virtualenv and install autobot for development
+($VIRTUAL_ENV/src/autobot). You can create a master-slave pair by
+running ``create-autobot`` after activating the virtualenv. This is
+mostly useful for autobot development. The scripts ``create-autobot-master`` and
+``create-autobot-slave`` are also available.  The scripts will prompt you
+for a factory. The factories are from ``autobot.projects`` and its
+subdirectories.
