-Google C++ Mocking Framework
-============================
-
-<http://github.com/google/googlemock/>
-
-Overview
---------
-
-Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes on a variety
-of platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, etc).
-Inspired by jMock, EasyMock, and Hamcrest, and designed with C++'s
-specifics in mind, it can help you derive better designs of your
-system and write better tests.
-
-Google Mock:
-
-- provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks,
-- can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real
- and mock objects,
-- handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions,
-- comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments,
-- uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock,
-- does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay
- needed),
-- allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on
- function calls to be expressed,
-- lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
-- does not use exceptions, and
-- is easy to learn and use.

+### Overview ###
+
+Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes.
+It can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.
+
+It is inspired by:
+
+ * [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/),
+ * [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/), and
+ * [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
+
+and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
+
+Google mock:
+
+ * lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
+ * supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
+ * handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
+ * is extensible by users.
+
+We hope you find it useful!

+## Getting Started ##
+
+If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
+documentation in the following order:
+
+ * Learn the [basics](../googletest/docs/Primer.md) of
+ Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
+ * Read [Google Mock for Dummies](docs/ForDummies.md).
+ * Read the instructions below on how to build Google Mock.
+
+You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
+
+Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:
+
+ * [CheatSheet](googlemock/docs/CheatSheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff
+ at a glance.
+ * [CookBook](googlemock/docs/CookBook.md) - recipes for getting things done,
+ including advanced techniques.
+
+If you need help, please check the
+[KnownIssues](googlemock/docs/KnownIssues.md) and

+### Using Google Mock Without Google Test ###
-Google Mock is implemented on top of the [Google Test C++ testing
-framework](http://github.com/google/googletest/), and depends on it.

-you may get compiler/linker errors.

-Getting the Source
-------------------
-
-There are two primary ways of getting Google Mock's source code: you
-can download a [stable source release](releases),
-or directly check out the source from our Git repository.
-The Git checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
-packages on your system, but lets you track development and make
-patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
-
-### Git Checkout ###
+### Building Google Mock ###
-To check out the master branch of Google Mock, run the following git command:
+#### Preparing to Build (Unix only) ####
- git clone https://github.com/google/googlemock.git

-To prepare the Autotools build system, enter the target directory of

-following command:
+To prepare the Autotools build system:
+ cd googlemock
autoreconf -fvi
-Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library.
-Note that you should only need to complete this step once. The
-subsequent 'make' invocations will automatically re-generate the bits
-of the build system that need to be changed.
-
-If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command
-will fail. You may need to explicitly specify a version to use. For
-instance, if you have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and
-'automake' would invoke the 1.4, use instead:
-
- AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi
-
-Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal.
-
-Setting up the Build
---------------------
-
To build Google Mock and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
straightforward.

-### Regenerating Source Files ###
-
-Some of Google Mock's source files are generated from templates (not
-in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
-where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
-file `include/gmock/gmock-generated-actions.h.pump` is used to generate
-`gmock-generated-actions.h` in the same directory.

-Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
-unless you need to modify them. In that case, you should modify the
-corresponding `.pump` files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump
