Ditch the default README

#rails
#open source
#project management
#readme

When you're opensourcing a project, don't forget to remove the default readme provided by your framework and replace it with something relevant.

I'd much rather read even one sentence explaining the project than see Welcome to Rails! for the n-th time.
