+#Hiatus
+
+Hi all! I will be taking a 3 month break from KineticJS (until July 2014) to focus on other endeavors.  KineticJS is in a great state right now (v5.1.0).  Please continue to file any issues that you may find, or submit pull requests.  They will eventually be addressed.

+#Installation
+
 Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have node installed. After that, run `npm install --dev` in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.
 
 Run `grunt --help` to see all build options.
