+* Rails, GNU Guix demo
+
+This repository is a really quick example of how to use Ruby on Rails
+with GNU Guix. Most Ruby on Rails applications will probably use a
+combination of Rubygems and Bundler to manage some of the
+dependencies, but it's possible to substitute Guix packages for
+Bundler, to gain some of the advantages of working with GNU Guix.
+
+To try this out, you'll need to:
+
+ - ~git submodule update --init~
+ - Setup the guix submodule, some instructions here:
+   https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Building-from-Git
+ - Use =direnv= to setup the environment correctly, or run:
+   ~./guix/pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc ruby ruby-rails~
+ - Then run ~rails s~ from =testapp=
+
+Once Ruby on Rails support is in Guix properly (rather than a branch),
+this should hopefully be easier. This bug [1] tracks the overall
+progress, but other bugs are used for subsets of the patches. If you
+have any problems, email mailto:mail@cbaines.net.
