+FixMyStreet Android application
+==============================
+
+The Fix My Street directory contains a complete application that should open
+directly in Eclipse.
+
+However, to compile it as an .apk, you will need to add the following JAR files
+to your build path - these make the multipart messages work.
+
+- commons-httpclient.jar
+- httpcomponents-client-4.0-alpha4.lib
+
+Hopefully these will no longer be needed in future versions of Android.
+
+I've compiled it against version 1.5 (Cupcake).
+
+Note that the app has to be signed to go onto the Android Market, contact
+anna@mysociety.org to do this.
+
+TODO (if you're an Android developer and wish to help mySociety,
+---- feel free to volunteer for any of these)
+
+* Improve flow - when you start the app, there should really be a
+welcome message explaning what FMS is, and a "Click here to take
+a photo" button, then after the photo a "Now add your details" screen.
+At the moment the opening screen doesn't really make sense unless you
+already know what FixMyStreet is - it should be more welcoming.
