+This readme concerns the directory wqflask - an officially sanctioned fork of the main GeneNetwork
+code.  It's still very early in the process - but we eventually want to port all of the code
+in GeneNetwork to Flask and Jinja2.  For more information about the project in general, see
+the file README.md.
+
+For more information about the port to Flask, please keep reading.
+
+*************************
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Python 2.7
+
+* virtualenv 1.7.1.2 or later
+
+* Other python dependencies are listed in the file wqflask/requirements.txt
+
+**************************
+
+Installation:
+
+We highly recommend you create a virtual enviornment called ve27 in your home directory.
