 This library is a compatibility implementation of the often used play-services library.
 
 It will try to use the Play Services when installed on the target device. If this is not possible, a basic fallback implementation might be used.
+
+WIP
+---
+This is still work in progress, and most applications will not build. 
+However feel free to try it out and create issues for missing method calls (please include an application to test it).
+
+Example: DashClock
+------------------
+[DashClock](https://code.google.com/p/dashclock/) is an open source clock widget with enhanced features. 
+However it uses play services as location backend and thus requires proprietary libraries to compile it. 
+
+However, it is possible to build DashClock using GmsLib, supporting all it's location features, with or without play services installed.
+To do this, download and build GmsLib plus its submodules and copy the three resulting .aar files (SafeParcel.aar, GmsApi.aar, GmsLib.aar) to `$DASHCLOCK_DIR/local_aars/`. 
+Then replace `compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.0.30'` in `$DASHCLOCK_SRC/main/build.gradle` with 
+
+	compile(name:'GmsLib', ext:'aar')
+	compile(name:'GmsApi', ext:'aar')
+	compile(name:'SafeParcel', ext:'aar')
+
+and build as usual.
