+# Contributing snippets
+
+Please do not ask me to add snippets to the default collection under
+`/snippets`. This is considered frozen and by customizing
+`yas/snippet-dirs` you can point yasnippet to good snippet collections
+out there.
+
+There is a tool `extras/textmate-import.rb` than can import many
+actual Textmate snippets and there are
+`extras/imported/*-mode/.yas-setup.el` files that can help it with the
+more difficult importation. 
+
+I'm focusing on developping `textmate-import.rb` tool and the
+`yas-setup.el` files. In the future `/snippets` snippets will be
+deprecated and replaced with `extras/imported`. 
+
+Follow through the following example to start using these snippets for
+rails development. It will convert `ruby`, `rails` and `html` bundles
+from drnic's github repositories based on corresponding
+`.yas-setup.el` files.
+
+After cloning this repository to `~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet`

+    git submodule init
+    git submodule update
+    gem install plist trollop
+    rake convert_bundles             # will convert ruby, rails and html bundles from drnic
+    
+Then, in your .emacs file
+
+    (add-to-list 'load-path
+                  "~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet")
+    (require 'yasnippet)
+    (setq yas/snippet-dirs "~/.emacs.d/snippets" "~/.emacs.d/extras/imported")
+    (yas/global-mode 1)    
+     
+Open some rails file (model, app, etc) and start using the textmate snippets.
