+Customizing LEAP Webapp
+============================================
+
+By default, this directory is empty. Any file you place here will override the default files for the application.
+
+For example:
+
+    stylesheets/ -- overrides files Rails.root/app/assets/stylesheets
+      tail.scss -- included before all others
+      head.scss -- included after all others
+
+    public/ -- overrides files in Rails.root/public
+      favicon.ico -- custom favicon
+      img/ -- customary directory to put images in
+
+    views/ -- overrides files Rails.root/app/views
+      home/
+        index.html.haml -- this file is what shows up on the home page
+
+    locales/ -- overrides files in Rails.root/config/locales
+      en.yml -- overrides for English
+      de.yml -- overrides for German
+      and so on...
+
+For most changes, the web application must be restarted after any changes are made to the customization directory.
+
+Sometimes a `rake tmp:clear` and a rails restart is required to pick up a new stylesheet.
