+About top-level package name change
+-----------------------------------
+The top level package name was changed from `pagination` to
+`linaro-django-pagination`. I did this to ensure that existing users of the
+original package could easily transition, on their own terms. Since both
+packages are co-installable you are free to check things out and see if the new
+pagination code works well for you or not.
+
+Also, since the implementation of the actual tags was rewritten I would not
+feel entirely confident that the new package is a drop-in replacement.

 How to use linaro-django-pagination
 -----------------------------------
 
-``linaro-django-pagination`` allows for easy Digg-style pagination without
-modifying your views.
-
-There are really 5 steps to setting it up with your projects (not including 
-installation, which is covered in INSTALL.txt in this same directory.)
-
-1. List this application in the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` portion of your settings
-   file.  Your settings file might look something like::
-   
-       INSTALLED_APPS = (
-           # ...
-           'linaro_django_pagination',
-       )
-
-
-2. Install the pagination middleware.  Your settings file might look something
-   like::
-   
-       MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
-           # ...
-           'linaro_django_pagination.middleware.PaginationMiddleware',
-       )
-
-3. If it's not already added in your setup, add the request context processor.
-   Note that context processors are set by default implicitly, so to set them
-   explicitly, you need to copy and paste this code into your under
-   the value TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS::
-   
-        ("django.core.context_processors.auth",
-        "django.core.context_processors.debug",
-        "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
-        "django.core.context_processors.media",
-        "django.core.context_processors.request")
-
-4. Add this line at the top of your template to load the pagination tags:
-
-       {% load pagination_tags %}
-
-
-5. Decide on a variable that you would like to paginate, and use the
-   autopaginate tag on that variable before iterating over it.  This could 
-   take one of two forms (using the canonical ``object_list`` as an example
-   variable):
-   
-       {% autopaginate object_list %}
-       
-   This assumes that you would like to have the default 20 results per page.
-   If you would like to specify your own amount of results per page, you can
-   specify that like so:
-   
-       {% autopaginate object_list 10 %}
-   
-   Note that this replaces ``object_list`` with the list for the current page, so
-   you can iterate over the ``object_list`` like you normally would.
-   
-
-6. Now you want to display the current page and the available pages, so
-   somewhere after having used autopaginate, use the paginate inclusion tag:
-   
-       {% paginate %}
-   
-   This does not take any arguments, but does assume that you have already
-   called autopaginate, so make sure to do so first.
-
-
-That's it!  You have now paginated ``object_list`` and given users of the site
-a way to navigate between the different pages--all without touching your views.
-
-
-Optional Settings
------------------
-
-In linaro-django-pagination, there are no required settings.  There are,
-however, a small set of optional settings useful for changing the default
-behavior of the pagination tags.  Here's an overview:
-
-``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_PAGINATION``
-    The default amount of items to show on a page if no number is specified.
-
-``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_WINDOW``
-    The number of items to the left and to the right of the current page to
-    display (accounting for ellipses).
-
-``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_ORPHANS``
-    The number of orphans allowed.  According to the Django documentation,
-    orphans are defined as::
-    
-        The minimum number of items allowed on the last page, defaults to zero.
-
-``PAGINATION_INVALID_PAGE_RAISES_404``
-    Determines whether an invalid page raises an ``Http404`` or just sets the
-    ``invalid_page`` context variable.  ``True`` does the former and ``False``
-    does the latter.
