+Ratpack project template
+-----------------------------
+
+You have just created a basic Groovy Ratpack application. It doesn't do much
+at this point, but we have set you up with a standard project structure, a 
+Guice back Registry, simple home page, and Spock for writing tests (because 
+you'd be mad not to use it).
+
+In this project you get:
+
+* A Gradle build file with pre-built Gradle wrapper
+* A tiny home page at src/ratpack/templates/index.html (it's a template)
+* A routing file at src/ratpack/Ratpack.groovy
+* Reloading enabled in build.gradle
+* A standard project structure:
+
+    <proj>
+      |
+      +- src
+          |
+          +- ratpack
+          |     |
+          |     +- Ratpack.groovy
+          |     +- ratpack.properties
+          |     +- public // Static assets in here
+          |          |
+          |          +- images
+          |          +- lib
+          |          +- scripts
+          |          +- styles
+          |
+          +- main
+          |   |
+          |   +- groovy
+                   |
+                   +- // App classes in here!
+          |
+          +- test
+              |
+              +- groovy
+                   |
+                   +- // Spock tests in here!
+
+That's it! You can start the basic app with
+
+    ./gradlew run
+
+but it's up to you to add the bells, whistles, and meat of the application.
