        Expanded Documentation:
        -----------------------
        The primary source for documentation is the SEEDS website.  Here, detailed
        installation instructions, how-to guides, code templates, and example
        experiments are provided.
        
        
        Installing SEEDS:
        -------------------
        SEEDS requires the NetworkX package, available at http://networkx.lanl.gov/.
        Additionally, SEEDS requires Python version 2.6.5 or greater.
        
        SEEDS can be installed using the included setup.py script by running "python
        setup.py install".
        
        If you specified the directory into which SEEDS was installed, you will need to
        make sure it is searchable in your Python environment.  This can be done by
        placing the directory into which it was installed in your PYTHONPATH.
        
        
        Running SEEDS:
        --------------
        Out of the box, SEEDS includes simple experiments in the examples directory.
        These experiments can be run once SEEDS has been installed on your system.
        See the README.txt file in a specific directory to learn about the experiment,
        how to configure it, and how to perform it.
        
        
        Expanding SEEDS:
        ----------------
        SEEDS is designed as a plugin-based framework.  This means that you can
        create and use your own cell types, topologies, and actions and use these
        immediately without modifying the base SEEDS framework.
        
        To create experiments that model behaviors of interest to you, a Cell type will
        need to be created.  More information on this process can be found on the
        SEEDS website.  Additionally, sample Cell types can be found in the examples
        directory.
        
        Once you have created your additional types or actions, place them in a
        directory called "plugins", and edit seeds.cfg, instructing the experiment to
        use them.  For cell types, change the value of the "cell" parameter in the
        "Experiment" section.  For topologies, change the value of the "topology"
        parameter in the "Experiment" section.  For actions, add it to the
        comma-separated "actions" parameter in the "Experiment" section.  Parameters to
        your plugins can be set in the seeds.cfg file in the section you define in
        your code.
