9 years ago @mtchem Thanks, those will help a lot. Can you send the docs to sylvia@girldevelopit.com so I can test and edit? You are awesome.

9 years ago General note: Native Windows install currently appears to be impossible due to Unix-only gems. See #174 for more. Windows users may be able to use a virtual machine with Linux.
