+## Mantis Source Integration
+
+Copyright (C) 2008	John Reese
+
+### Description
+
+This plugin provides a flexible framework for fully integrating any
+sort of version control system with Mantis, including support for
+multiple repositories, changesets or revisions, and file path tracking.
+It has many features already, such as importing repository history and
+optional support for remote check-ins or imports, and utilizes a 
+class-based API to access objects in the database.
+
+Initial support is included, using extension plugins, for Subversion
+repositories using WebSVN, and Git repositories hosted on GitHub.
+Support for more source control tools is planned, but should be rather 
+straightforward to implement, due to the flexibility inherent in the 
+integration framework and API.
+
+### Requirements
+
+The Source Integration framework requires Mantis version 1.2.0 or
+higher, and requires the following additional plugins:
+
+- [Meta, version 0.1+](http://github.com/jreese/mantis-forge)
+
+### Support
+
+Bug reports or fixes are highly encouraged, as are contributions via
+GitHub's fork/pull-request methods.  Bug reports should be directed to
+the bug tracker located at: http://leetcode.net/mantis
