+MAGALLANES
+==========
+
+- What's Magallanes?
+    Magallanes is a deployment tool for PHP applications; it's quite simple to use and manage.
+
+- What can it do?
+    You can deploy your code to all the servers you want (via rsync over ssh),
+    and run tasks for that code.
+
+- Can you give me some examples/ideas?
+    Sure!
+    Supouse you have a checkout of your app and you have to deploy it to four servers;
+    and after each deploy you have to run some tasks, like fixing file permissions,
+    creating symlinks, etc. You can define all this on Magallanes and with just
+    one command you can do all this at once!
+    Like this: $ mage deploy to:production
+
+- What's this sorcery?!
+    Easy boy. It's not sorcery, just some technomagick!
+    In Magallanes you define environments like "production" on the example above.
+    Then, on that environment configuration, you set up to which hosts you want to deploy,
+    and what tasks to run (after, on, before deploying).
+
+- And what spells... TASKS! What tasks has it built in?
+    Just a few...
+        * deployment/rsync  - This task is for deploying your code to the remote servers.
+        * scm/update        - This task is for updating (git/svn) your base wokring copy.
+
+    But! you can create your own taks, and execute commands on your working copy,
+    and in your deployed code!
+
+- This is awesome! Where can I learn more?
+    You can read the whole source code;
+    or checkout the wiki at: http://magallanes.zenreworks.com/wiki

+
+Enjoy your magic trip with Magallanes!!
