+Slider Swatches
+================
+
+This software is early in development, and is presented as-is.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+The supported Magento version is 1.9.x. This was tested as working with RWD.
+
+This module uses jQuery 1.10, which is packaded with Magento.
+
+This uses [wootheme's](https://github.com/woothemes) awesome [Flexslider](https://github.com/woothemes/FlexSlider).
+
+
+Features
+----------------
+
+- Use a Flexslider based image slider for product images on the PDP
+- When viewing a configurable swatch, the slider collection will repopulate with all the children product's images when the corresponding color swatch is selected.
+- Supports Magento's elevateZoom
+- For accessability, tabbing to the image and pressing enter will let the use move the zoom lens with the keyboard. Pressing escape will return the fuctionality to flexlider.
+
+Note: There are currently no thumbnails. This ia a TODO.
+
