  Please use the means listed above to give us any feedback about
  slate_permutate's functionality. Thanks!

Installation Requirements:
  - PHP-enabled httpd (tested with apache, patches for supporting others welcome).
  - Access to PHP's CLI interface
  - libcURL extension to PHP (for Calvin's crawler and soon others).
  - json_encode()/json_decode() functions (as a PEAR addon or with the recent PHP versions).
  - PHP libraries
    - securimage-2.0.2 (optional) for captcha support for the feedback
      form. http://phpcapatcha.org/ , see inc/config.example for
      details.

Installation:
  - Get a copy of slate_permutate.
    - development version:
      $ hg clone http://protofusion.org/hg/SlatePermutate slate_permutate
    - stable: not yet available.
  - copy inc/config.inc.example to inc/config.inc. Read and adjust
    settings as necessary.
  - copy .htaccess.example to .htaccess if you're interested in
    ``clean urls'' (corresponding to the $clean_urls option in
    config.inc).
  - run admin/rehash.php to populate the cache/ directory with
    information such as the list and rDNS information for schools in
    school.d.
  - ensure that the webserver has write-access to the saved_schedules/
    folder because schedule storage is filesystem-based.
