+====
 
-A cow-erful web frontend to bitlbee.
+A web-based chat gateway.
 
-SETUP
+Dependencies:
+  - libpurple (tested against 2.10.9)
+  - qt5
+  - python
+  - Linux (We currently rely on the Qt-glib eventloop integration, which only exists on Linux.)
+  - A modern web browser
+
+Setup
+-----
+
+Build ribbon, the network-socket-to-libpurple adapter:
+
+```bash
+cd ribbon
+qmake-qt5 ribbon.pro
+make
+cd ../
+```
+
+Prepare a virtualenv:
+
+```bash
+virtualenv env
+env/bin/pip install tornado
+```
+
+Run the server:
+
+```bash
+cd reactornado
+../env/bin/python ribbon_passthrough.py
+```
+
+Then, point your browser at http://localhost:8889
+
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Some other stuff for server-side persistence (backburnered for now)
 
 ```bash
 virtualenv env
-env/bin/pip install Flask Flask-Login Flask-SQLAlchemy Flask-WTF Flask-Scrypt Flask-RESTful sqlalchemy-migrate
