Makefile: commented out unnecessary closure download and shell testing (at least until someone decides to work on this).

 # pdf.js
 
-pdf.js is a technology demonstrator prototype to explore whether the HTML5
-platform is complete enough to faithfully and efficiently render the ISO
-32000-1:2008 Portable Document Format (PDF) without native code assistance.
 
-pdf.js is not currently part of the Mozilla project, and there is no plan
-yet to integrate it into Firefox. We will explore that possibility once
-pdf.js is production ready. Until then we aim to publish a Firefox
-PDF reader extension powered by pdf.js.
+
+## Overview
+
+pdf.js is an HTML5 technology experiment that explores building a faithful
+and efficient Portable Document Format (PDF) renderer without native code 
+assistance.
+
+pdf.js is community-driven and supported by Mozilla Labs. Our goal is to 
+create a general-purpose, web standards-based platform for parsing and 
+rendering PDFs, and eventually release a PDF reader extension powered by 
+pdf.js. Integration with Firefox is a possibility if the experiment proves 
+successful.
+
+
+
+## Getting started
+
+For an online demo, visit:
+
+  http://andreasgal.github.com/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
+
+This demo provides an interactive interface for displaying and browsing PDFs
+using the pdf.js API.
+
+For a "hello world" example, take a look at:
+
+    examples/helloworld/
+
+This example illustrates the bare minimum ingredients for integrating pdf.js
+in a custom project.
+
+
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+pdf.js comes with browser-level regression tests that allow one to probe 
+whether it's able to successfully parse PDFs, as well as compare its output
+against reference images, pixel-by-pixel.
+
+To run the tests, first configure the browser manifest file at:
+
+    test/resources/browser_manifests/browser_manifest.json
+
+Sample manifests for different platforms are provided in that directory.
+
+To run all the bundled tests, type:
+
+    $ make test
+
+and cross your fingers. Different types of tests are available, see the test
+manifest file at:
+
+    test/test_manifest.json
+
+The test type `eq` tests whether the output images are identical to reference 
+images. The test type `load` simply tests whether the file loads without 
+raising any errors.
+
+
+## Contributing
+
+pdf.js is a community-driver project, so contributors are always welcome. 
+Simply fork our repo and contribute away. A great place to start is our
+open issues. 
+
+For better consistency and long-term stability, please do look around the 
+code and try to follow our conventions.
