+Tabular
+==============
+Sometimes, it's useful to line up text. Naturally, it's nicer to have the
+computer do this for you, since aligning things by hand quickly becomes
+unpleasant. While there are other plugins for aligning text, the ones I've
+tried are either impossibly difficult to understand and use, or too simplistic
+to handle complicated tasks. This plugin aims to make the easy things easy
+and the hard things possible, without providing an unnecessarily obtuse
+interface. It's still a work in progress, and criticisms are welcome.
+
+See [Aligning Text with Tabular.vim](http://vimcasts.org/episodes/aligning-text-with-tabular-vim/)
+for a screencast that shows how Tabular.vim works.
+
+See [doc/Tabular.txt](http://raw.github.com/godlygeek/tabular/master/doc/Tabular.txt)
+for detailed documentation.
+
+Installation
+==============
+If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing
+[pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and then simply
+copy and paste:
+
+ mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
+ cd ~/.vim/bundle
+ git clone git://github.com/godlygeek/tabular.git
+
+Once help tags have been generated (either using Pathogen's `:Helptags`
+command, or by pointing vim's `:helptags` command at the directory where you
+installed Tabular), you can view the manual with `:help tabular`.
