+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.
