README for Helios NG:
Version: Helios NG CVS, 20070604

1. BIG FAT WARNING:
Well, let me get this out of the way, Helios is still in the DEVELOPMENT stage, and as such, I'd say it is in the ALPHA stage. That said, it probably will not do anything nasty like eat your data due to some obscure bug. It has been used in production for nearly six months now, however only in the system which it was written for in the first place. It will probably not misbehave, but there is a chance that it may run off, eat your data, do horrible acts of perversion with your pet kitty, and then kill all of the livestock in the area. 
LOTS OF THINGS are still Missing! The first thing that needs to be solved is the Database format, and the Authorisation subsystem. This is already being worked on.
Currently, there is no documentation written, but there is a provided config.inc.php example to get working with, and the API is not horribly complicated. Some example code has been included in the example/ folder, pending full documentation (Including this crappy readme).

2. LICENCING:
Helios is licenced under the GPL version 2 or later. See the included "LICENCE" file for more info. All of the proyect is (c) 2007 Arturo Mann <arturo.mann@gmail.com>

3. INSTALLATION:
** As of this time, the internal Database format (for storing Helios information) is still not finalised, so I am not providing an SQL script. Currently, this will only disable the Authentication and User Access systems, but those are so unstable that this is currently a good idea(tm). In order for helios to function like this, simply disable the Authentication, and set the sakuradb parameter to an existing database.**
i. Copy the helios directory to wherever your selected HTTP_ROOT is. Do *NOT* rename the folder, that would spoil the gifts inside! Open the file helios/helios.php and modify the first line according to the instructions in there. Then open config/config.inc.php and modify according to the instructions in there.
ii. Enjoy. :)
